Absolutely delighted to see this. I've been bumping along the bottom using
pmount for some time :(

However I'm getting a problem with removable hard drives with 2 partitions. Only
one of them disappears when it's unplugged, and I get the message:
KeyError: None

The remaining one is dead, and if I re-insert the drive I now have three
icons... rinse and repeat!

Say you have a poem and I have a tune.
Exchange them and we can both have a poem, a tune, and a song.
