I have had the same problem and tried do solve it by scanning all
devices automatically: http://vold.sourceforge.net
KDE has a device kio slave which scanns /etc/fstab. So I could
probably add a feature where connected devices don't get mounted
but added to /etc/fstab so they appear on the desktop
automatically.
Drawback is: Vold doesnt know if it has just mounted a usb-drive
or a cdrom. And you will get nasty read-error messages in syslog
if you load the usb-storage driver but have no device attached
etc. They are not severe, I just have to find a way to suppress
them. It still misses an eject program to unmount as user.

Are you really sure that the serial is unique? If I remember
correctly the not all devices have serials set.

Same here. I think its a bug. But since its not 2.5/2.6-test
related nobody seems to care here :-(
