Devils Advocate - But what if someone has automount off?

Otherwise it seems like right thing to do.  I would just add that if
someone has added their mount to fstab they would expect the unmounted
volume to appear in "Computer".  How does this sound as a workable
solution?  The hal mount script puts a hal flag (mount will need to be
modified) with the mount in fstab.  Any entry in fstab that does not
retain that flag reverts back to the old behavior.  This would fix the
floppy problem.

After executing udevstart Nautilus now crashes when I try to open the
"Computer" window.  It crashes when it gets to displaying the cdrom
icon.  Backtraces are useless so I am going to dig into the Nautilus
code to see what is going on. Also my menu no longer appears in the
application menus.
