Over time, *what* did the automounting has changed. Somewhere along the way HAL did it, and some of those other desktops didn't appear to make use of it.
And now HAL is a dinosaur and if you try to ask about using it, people look at you like you have lobsters crawling out of you ears (FYI: udev is now the king).
I love the way subsystems come and go like cosmology theories. One day a theory will be hailed as the one true explanation for the entire universe, the next day it will be scoffed at as a more "elegant" theory replaces it. (And none of them had any way to be tested for validity :-).
