Create 'Places' entry by mounting in /media

[hrod beraht]

If I mount a network smbfs/cifs share under /media in Ubuntu, it automatically places a disk icon on the desktop and under Places (and goes away when you unmount it).

How can I make that happen in Fedora 7?

The only distro i've seen this behavior is in ubuntu, and btw i friggin love it. Since you asked, i did some research and i found a wiki entry;
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MediaOnDesktop

and this this old bugreport;
https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-vfs2/+bug/34886

And this led me to belive this behaviour is in;
/usr/share/hal/fdi/policy/10osvendor/20-storage-methods.fdi

Specifically;

<!-- Ignore fixed partitions which are not mounted in /media -->
<match key="@block.storage_device:storage.hotpluggable" bool="false">
<match key="@block.storage_device:storage.removable" bool="false">
<match key="volume.is_mounted" bool="true">
<merge key="volume.ignore" type="bool">true</merge>
<!-- Show /media/ drives -->
<match key="volume.mount_point" compare_gt="/media">
<match key="volume.mount_point" compare_lt="/media0">
<merge key="volume.ignore" type="bool">false</merge>
</match>
</match>
</match>
</match>
</match>


Feel free to try it out (you might have to restart the computer), and report back if it works. Otherwise i will try it out when i have some time to spare...
