Our network links are behaving in a shoddy way today so who knows if/when my mail will hit the list and get back to me... Someone may have already spotted my omission for all I know...

and that allows options to be passed as needed for this case:

 gnome-mount -p volname -o exec

obviously with volname being the volume name...

Since gnome-mount (via hald) ends up just calling mount, one can again avoid the umount/mount by using remount e.g.

  gnome-mount -p volname -o remount,ro,exec

I added ro here 'cos without it I get the CD mounted rw rather than just overriding the noexec bit... I'm fairly sure it wouldn't try to write to it anyway but I'm a bit paranoid today.

OBquestion: in what I assume is a fairly default SL5 Gnome setup there isn't an obvious GUI unmount for CDs just an 'eject'. Am I missing something or did I break my Gnome config?
