It is nice but it has a few quirks. Don't for get that this is a pre-release version though.

Description: I added two mountpoints in /mnt. When i call mount /dev/hda5 /mnt/data for example, then automagically a window pops up and shows the root of these partitions.... This is what i love about it!!!

I didn't have this problem because I don't dual boot. But it did find my XP box on my network without a problem and allow me to view the shared directories without a hitch. Though it did come up with a screen asking for a username and password but if if cleared it I could access the shares as normal.

Good idea but it does get a little busy.
With regards to Rhythmbox I haven't had that problem but I haven't really played with it.

Hehe,
just took a look at the mailinglist. The first post describes my problem. Have to read 3 MB (!!!) of text now. Will report back.

P.S.: I am pretty new to mailingslists. Is there a nice and easy way to view the posts instead of browsing to the mailinglist site and read through all the text?
//edit:
Looks like i have to set some extra options like umask,... Will try this when i am at home and report back.
