Bug#586024: kde mount problems



The basic problem is:

Creating a device shortcuts add the device plus the mount point to the
shortcut file.

Package kde4libs file kioslave/file/file.cpp function 
void FileProtocol::mount( bool _ro, const char *_fstype, const QString& _dev, const QString& _point )
gets called with both values (device+mount-point).

This results in a call of
mount <device> <mount-point>

The mount shipped on Debian systems only allows to specifiy either <device> or <mount-point>.
If both are specified, you get the error, that only root may do this.

So the problem is, that KDE expects a different behavior than provided by mount.

Workaround:
Delete (with a text editor) the mount point setting from the shortcut file.
