I think there is nothing to "explain" to users. They just end up with stuff in nautilus "computer:" and will have no idea how it is filled. Asking them to move mountpoint won't be easier.. I don't understand why this kind of policy is hardcoded in glib code. IMO, it should be in HAL .fdi file and not in code... > FWIW, I'm even opposed to a configure option, distros shouldn't behave > different.

We (Mandriva) are using /mnt for "static" (ie already present on the system before install) Windows partitions (since there is no rational for moving them in /media, as stated in FHS) and creating other random mount points is not a option either. > That's my opinion anyway. Well, since you obviously don't want to add "/mnt" to the list, it means I'll have to create a vendor patch for this. This is unfortunate but I guess I'll have to live with it. -- Frederic Crozat <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Mandriva -- nautilus-list mailing list [email protected] http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/nautilus-list
