That bug report is the most incredible hotchpot I've ever seen.  Umpteen 
things, all muddled together.

Thank you.  So we'll all stop working on it until you join in and help us.

Basic reporting skills suggest that you should tell us which settings dialogue 
this is.

Two comments I'd make, based on reading that bug report.

I don't want everything mounted automatically.  *I* am in charge of my 
computers and want to stay so.  On a practical level, too, every time I put a 
disk in to use with k3b I have to umount it?  No thanks.

As an experiment, a few weeks back I stuck in a USB pen-drive without mounting 
it, then opened Gwenview.  I was able to browse immediately - IOW It was 
mounted from Gwenview, not from the notifier or from Dolphin.  How many other 
applications can do this I have no idea - I haven't tested.
