+udevil (removable devices manager)
+
+udevil is a command line Linux program which mounts and unmounts
+removable devices without a password, shows device info, and monitors
+device changes. It can also mount ISO files, nfs://, smb://, ftp://,
+ssh:// URLs, and tmpfs/ramfs filesystems.
+udevil is highly configurable, requires no daemon running, and depends
+only on udev and glib. To use it, just prefix a normal mount command
+with 'udevil'.
+
+It's reccomended for proper autodetection of removable
+devices to enable kernel polling. You can do it adding
+this line to /etc/rc.d/rc.local (the value is in
+milliseconds, higher means slower detection but lower
+overhead)

+
+zenity is an optional dependency.
