I see, I still need to be root if the filesystem is not in fstab.

I cannot do this, because the mountpoints are always different.
Situation with ltsp is this:
The user works on a thinclient. if he plugs in an usb stick, the stick
is mounted on the client and the mount is 'forwarded' to the server.
there its mounted under /media/<username>/usbdisk-sdaX by ltspfs
(fuse-based).
it's possible to unmount the stick on the server with fusermount -u,
but most users like to umount by mouse :-)
in Gnome there is a hardcoded umount command. I still need to
investigate what kde is doing :-)
I think I found another solution: get libfuse to add the "uhelper="
option.

There are only 10 types of people:
Those who understand binary and those who don't.
