I am trying to mount a FAT32 partition when I log in.
I want it to be dynamically unmounted, and re-mounted, whenever a
different user logs in. This has to be done to change the UID. (GID
alone isn't enough to get full functionality under GNOME).
As far as I can tell,

Rediscovery was something I did not want to waste time on. Of
laziness, I stand guilty.
Genuinely, thanks for the posts though. Bookmarked, I'll be sure to

Obvious question: Does it have to be FAT32?

Why not tweak the /etc/fstab (I believe Ed Greshko already gave you that
suggestion)?
If I understand your usecase

One feature I essentially need is that all my users are in a

The rest of you post indicates that you want to do more/less/different
things than what you stated earlier as simply mounting a drive that
contains your Desktop directory.

Doing a simple script that does umount followed by mount
