That's mint mate 17...

I just tested it and nfs mounted 7 drives on my remote machine (using
a console script) and they all popped up like mushrooms


I've got that ticked. I've got "Computer" but no icon for the hard
drive or for the host's shared volume I mounted in the Terminal.

Odd. that suggest that the daemon that detects mounted volumes in not
running. (dbus?) Try unticking everything, rebooting, and then reticking
what you want.

There is some evidence of issues with CIFS/samba style 'windows' mounts.


What about inserting a dvd or a thumb drive?

BTW, does Mint have anything resembling Visual Basic? I want to make a
double-clickable executable that can run a script, get the exit code
from the script, and if required put up an alert panel with a message.


Mm. python is probably your best bet for that.

the main problem is that even with GTK, actually opening a window is a
bit opaque (sic!)
