may well be, as exo-mount *is* on my system. ;-) however, no man page,
little help info, not much on google...

except for thunar-dev, of course, on which i found a message (dated april
3, 2007, so pretty recent) that it is in principle not possible to pass
mount options through exo-mount... so i guess that means i'm stuck. :-(

(i want to pass the option 'fmask=133' to mount, so that vfat volumes are
mounted without every file having the executable bit set. this is very
annoying if you copy files from a vfat volume to the hard disk, something i
do on a regular basis, as this executable bit is retained.)

version 0.1.2, compiled from source through a slackbuild script from
<http://rlworkman.net/pkgs/sources/12.0/xfce4-goodies/>.

permissions are as expected. owned by me (user joost), group is 'users',
permissions are rw-r--r--.

it seems, though, that nothing is written to this file when i uncheck the
relevant checkboxes...
