Ok. I read this mail too late. Attached a version using the "small text" approach.

At least both options sounds confusing. I don't see a clear difference (maybe because i am technical and i see a "removable device" as a "mount point"). In the mock UI i attach, i put them together in one unique option. I think before you do, we should agree to avoid wasting resources ;) > Yep, i did it before reading this mail. I attach a .glade file that basically: * Uses the "small text" approach instead of tooltips * Removes few options that only pro-users will miss (I hope :P) Take as a proof of concept, and not a serious proposal for integration.
