I've installed lucid lynx beta2, or to be more precise, dist-upgraded, and was pleasantly suprised how easy it was.
I've started to dig a bit deeper and found an interesting menu in system-settings (advanced). On my german system it's called "Wechselmedien" (What is this part called in english?). I activated the auto-mount option for my two external USB-drives, but not for my 10 internal partitions. Since then 10 KDESudo windows pop up after I login to my machine. This nagging got on my nerves after 2 Logins andI started to search for the culprit. It was easy. If I simply close the kdesudos without entering a password, /var/log/auth.log reports 10 occurences of

If I understand this correctly, these dbus-send commands are issued to somehow mount my internal partitions (according to fstab). But these partitions are already mounted, and I'm able to access them and write to them, even if I don't input my password 10 times. Since this is a single user machine, I've changed the relevant entrys in /usr/share/polkit-1/actions/org.freedesktop.udisks.policy as per http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1434702, but to no avail. What am I missing?
