Maybe what can be done is choose better icons if possible.
If the device in /etc/fstab is '/dev/fd[0-9]*' then a nice floppy icon is
used; for all others there is the standard 'block device icon'; not
very beautiful nor meaningful.

What are the standard names in /mnt on a mandrake ?
Maybe I can patch a little gmc so it uses the zip-drive icon when 
the mount point is /mnt/zip, for example.

BTW, the script for KDE should be chandes also imho, and not search for
'vfat' but rather search for 'noauto' in options; indeed, there is no
real need to have an icon for the windows partition on the
hard drive if it is mounted at boot time; and miss an icon to mount
ext2 ZIP drives...
There isn't either much sense to add an icon to mount/unmount a drive
if the user doesn't have the right to do it.
Searching for 'user' in the /etc/fstab would be the best imho: the user
can do it, and they are likely to be removable ones (as non removable ones
are generally mounted at boot time and not unmounted until shutdown)
