It depends on the applications you're using. If they're gnome-vfs aware, you
won't have any problems at all. These days, that covers most of the major
non-GNOME desktop apps (OOo, Mozilla, etc). But yes, more needs to be done.

Coming soon in Ubuntu -> support for interesting mount options in pmount,
letting your users mount and unmount things like nfs, smb, FUSE and crypted
filesystems without root, but with strong policy (the p in pmount). Nice!
