[ale] Xubuntu automounter

[Warren Myers]

I'm not sure I've seen this in a Linux distro before. IIRC, KDE does a
similar task where when you click on the icon it checks to see if it can
mount the drive. I do recall BeOS auto checking the buses periodically to
see if they had anything interesting on them, and then automounting, but
it's the only OS I've used that does automounting other than Mac OS.
