OK, so I took a look at the GNOME "Disks" utility, which I was
finally able to get to run without crashing, and as far as I can
tell, it doesn't resolve my main complaint with the new F17
behavior.<br>
<br>
Yes, I can use the Disks utility to configure removable devices,
e.g., my DVD drive, to mount on startup. But then it isn't going to
mount in /run/media/$USER, because there's no user logged in yet.<br>
<br>
My concern, which I've explained repeatedly and I believe is quite
legitimate despite all of the flak I've taken for it here, is that
the behavior of a removable device that is already inserted when I
log in should be exactly the same as the behavior of a removable
device that I insert after logging in. As far as I can tell the
Disks utility can't achieve that. If I'm wrong, please explain to me
exactly how I should configure, e.g., my DVD drive in the Disks
utility so that if there's a DVD in the drive when I log in, it will
be mounted under /run/media/$USER automatically.<br>
<br>
(And, while you're at it, explain to me why this shouldn't be the
default behavior, which I've yet to see anyone here explain, as far
as I recall.)<br>
