Comment 2 for bug 55405

Yup it's a dupe of both those in one way or another. The 'OMG nautlius runs at root!?!' issue is fixed, and I notice the NTFS partition is automatically mounted in /tmp/ as soon as the Discs Manager starts running, but still only root can access this mount by default.

This behaviour is neither transparent nor logical :/ The end user gets only the feeling "It doesn't work." with no clickyclicky facility to change it.

Discussion threaded from these bugs regarding r/w mount for vfat partitions are valid here, too since the full r/w ntfs-3g driver based on FUSE is just around the corner...
