I could not reproduce scenario described by luca_ing. I formatted a external harddrive (usb-storage device) as ext3 and tried but it is not auto mounted neither I can mount it through Place menu. I can mount it if I log as root and know about mount command... this, unfortunately, is not the case for my wife, my mother and many people that I know to use Ubuntu. All my USB / CD-ROm are still unmountable.
--- Words in the wind --- Sometimes I ask myself when Linux distributions will really focus on end user. I have a dream of a day when any user can use Linux without any technical skills, I have a dream of a day when Linux can really fights with other commercial OS in the final user computer. Nowadays this is impossible. Imagine you my mother trying to load her pictures took with a digital camera... impossible. Try imagine my wife reading her pendrive with a lot of tests from her classes... impossible *(in this case I helped her to avoid install windows on our computer)*. The fact is: no one care about this bug and this bug affects direct end user not the experienced users. The fact is yet: Linux is not for everyone... And this fact makes me think about worth of really carry the Linux flag. Ubuntu was a hope and are proofing does not provide any hope.
