Of-topic: this "new procedure" i kinda step back for KDE.
pmount/gnome-mount was invented not to have fstab entries for removeable
devices. (after fstab-sync was boycotted). For cdroms it's not that
crucial, but f.e. pendrives or any other usb storage may have different
/dev/ nodes assigned everytime you plug them. And now in KDE you have to
fill fstab again for them to be automounted. This doesn't look good.
