Got my files in a common mount point /vol/media where all members of the
family have access too (we share the same computer).  No one should have
to make a local copy of a family video in their respective /home
directory to look at it.  And it is a bit ridiculous that now, going
forward, every mount points, including those that our on non-removable
media, should be done in /media to get things to work.

There are also businesses/schools that have mount points elsewhere,
network mounts, hard coded at one location, on system where users do not
have root access.

And if you make use of the 'mount bind' workaround, then you hit the
problem of file transfers and Trash not working anymore.  Damn if you
do, damn if you do not.

Please introduce a configuration file.  It is easy to implement, and
leave us, users/administrators to decide to move away from the current
default.
