Yeah, it's a perennial problem. I guess people are trying to solve it
with user-space proxy filesystems and the like. Not sure how mature
they are.
Sure. Think KDE does that.

Hmmm. The argument against that I guess is that the user could want it
to stay mounted for one of their cron jobs or something. Maybe that's
sufficiently obscure that we could ignore it. But it still doesn't
solve the case of a user just ejecting the disk before logout.
That is just to obscure. You dont run cron jobs on a client off
removable media. You just dont do that. But shure, make it possible to
turn back on if neccesary.

No.
Good. Then we can finaly make removable media mountable on our
thin-client-server. (today only root can do that)

Local Linux console login or local GDM.
Sound good
But what happens if you log out with "control-alt-backspace"? Iv'e seen
prosesses survive that...
(and i have a certain thin-client-server, which has people which logged
on in august, even if they certainly isn't logged on today...)
