When I mentioned autostart at mounting of media, I was referring to the
execution of a [.autorun|autorun|autorun.sh] executable located on the media.

The gnome-volume-manager does of course much more than that, but I don't think
that's to be included in an autostart spec for now.
Do you really want to support autorun feature? It is such a
security nightmare.
Though it may seems nice, but the script could make to do anything,
including wiping out your harddisk, install a trojan horse even before
you realise it.
CDE on Solarirs used to support it and we had to take it out for this
simple reason.
