I can confirm that in Karmic, every time I start a session from boot I
get prompted for my password again to mount an internal disk/partition
that I never asked to have mounted. If we are to mount partitions at
boot, should we not have a way of configuring them (with options like
passwd, nopasswd, mount at boot, don't mount at boot, custom mountpoint)

The system tries to mount another drive/partition. I see many issues with this:
 
1) window is above all others by default
2) user never requested this be mounted at boot/session-start (not in 
/etc/fstab)
3) there is no way to have it go away or mark as authorize for always (i.e. 
never ask me again)
4) it does not ask to mount any other partitions, it picks one and sticks to it

Attached is a picture of this authenticate dialog which is displayed
every session-start. I also get a similar one when trying to eject a
video DVD.
