Not sure how or why.
FWIW I experience the same behaviour in KDE under Kubuntu (still haven't
got quite that far in my own LFS/BLFS builds yet!). I don't know why
it's like this, but at least it appears to be consistent across desktop
environments. I tried emulating it under a command-line environment,
but obviously one can't access (via 'ls' or 'cd') the mountpoint until
the mount has actually taken place. For this a manual 'pmount /dev/sda'
is still required (and is probably what KDE/GNOME are emulating when you
click on the icon/folder).
Regards,
Matt.
