This will cause a lot of trouble for you.. With the next gnome-vfs2 upload
nautilus will mount based on mountpoints again (because that's more sane and
pmount supports it now).. So with your setup you'll always have one of your two
devices mounted, no matter which icon you choose.

Anyway doing things this way is plain silly (no offence) and is almost
impossible to fix (we would need some crazy heuristic to guess how to mount
something)..

PS: seb, 288174 is definitely a different ``bug''
