xfce4-mount-plugin - version 0.5.5

This little plugin behaves like the "kwikdisk - removable media utility" shipped
with KDE.

Press it and it will display a list of items representing your various devices. 
If you click on an unmounted devices it will mount it and vice versa. There is 
no warning in case a device can't be mounted, but there is one when unmounting 
fails.

The plugin displays various information on each device:
"device name" > "mount point" ["used size"/"total size"] "available size" free 
and an obvious progress bar.

The plugin works in a very simple way. It builds a list of devices from your 
/etc/fstab (using setfsent() and getfsent() ) and gets device stats from the 
list of mounted devices (i.e. same data as the 'df' command), using setmntent()
and getmntent().
For mouting a device, the plugin simply runs a "mount /mount_point/ " command if
no other command is explicitly specified in the options dialog.

Acknowledgements go to the following people for several major or minor reasons,
mostly for nice ideas and fea tures, but also for bugfixes and other stuff:

 - The one guy with the "no device names" patch
 - Christoph Kühne
 - Pavol Rusnak
 - Lionel Le Folgoc
 - Enrico Troeger
 - Sergei "GeoNix"
 - Neoklis
 - Robby Workman
 - Matthias Eller

Thank you.
