oh u mean the .desktop files in Desktop - which ones specifically? there's more
than one way to mount a filesystem than by fstab. :)

seems to fit the needs of many - including me. it works out of the box on all
my machines - all of which run ubuntu btw. i can deal with removable media
(cd's, dvd's, usb storage, mmcblk etc.), deal with my files, deal with my apps.
it meets the needs of this experienced user and developer - and i know it meets
the needs of others. i know of no one except you that just changed desktops
regularly - they use one for weeks or months or years on end. you'd be an
exception, not a rule. :) it may not meet your needs - sure, but developers
scratch their own itches first, then they cater to the majority of users.
minorities normally send patches to support themselves :)
