I'm coming into this thread a little late so I might be way off on the actual arguments, but it sounds like you have never seen supermount in action... just pop in a cd and poof its mounted... all the newest filemanagers can be setup to sense that and pop up a window automatically (Kinda annoying if you ask me) so that you don't even have to know WHERE it's mounted if you don't want to.
