g-v-m will only mount media when it's inserted/hot-plugged. When one logs in
with a cdrom already inserted or a camera already plugged in nothing happens.
Which is nice, because i don't really want my dvd player to startup when i log, because i left a dvd in the drive or something like that....

Also i don't think it's nice to ``force'' people to use the command line, just
because they don't use gvm or have disabled automount. But i'm not the one
writing the code :)
