Our network links are behaving in a shoddy way today so who knows if/when 
my mail will hit the list and get back to me...  Someone may have already 
spotted my omission for all I know...

Since gnome-mount (via hald) ends up just calling mount, one can again 
avoid the umount/mount by using remount e.g.

   gnome-mount -p volname -o remount,ro,exec

I added ro here 'cos without it I get the CD mounted rw rather than just 
overriding the noexec bit...  I'm fairly sure it wouldn't try to write to 
it anyway but I'm a bit paranoid today.

OBquestion: in what I assume is a fairly default SL5 Gnome setup there 
isn't an obvious GUI unmount for CDs just an 'eject'.  Am I missing 
something or did I break my Gnome config?
