xffm: Feature Request: xffm /mnt/cdrom --> giving a "mount" entry :)

Hi!

hmm :)
Ok, I'll try to explain differently:

I changed the panel launcher to say "xffstab /mnt/cdrom" now...
So when I want to access the cd-rom, I click the launcher.

Now there are two cases depending on if the cdrom was mounted before or
not:

case 1: /mnt/cdrom was not mounted before:
   xffstab /mnt/cdrom
   --> mounts
   --> adds /mnt/cdrom-content to tree
   --> works fine

case 2: /mnt/cdrom already mounted (yeah, can happen ^^):
   xffstab /mnt/cdrom
   --> normal fstab-tree
   --> does not add /mnt/cdrom-content to tree
   --> content of /mnt/cdrom nowhere to be found

I know that this is perhaps just the way it should be by design, but how
would I be able to access cd-rom content with one and the same launcher
regardless of if it was already mounted before or not?

cheers,
   Danny
