Okay, that isn't optimal for sure. I thought that when KDE or Gnome mounted an usb drive, it would be accessible from the command line too. KDE4 will be a big improvement I think. It should provide much better support for the various freedesktop.org "standards".

If one of them mounts the drive it is accessible anywhere, however if I ask KDE to always mount a drive, I must be logged into KDE for this automounting to happen. If I'm logged into Gnome, the Gnome will ignore any decision I made with KDE.

Okay, I understand your point now (I think :)), and I agree. I think there will be situations where that isn't possible, though I can't really think of any right now :)
