OK. This is what I've tried:

$ sudo emacs -nw /etc/fuse.conf

and uncomment option "user_allow_other"

$ sudo emacs -nw /etc/fstab

and now the line for the NTFS partition is:
/dev/sda1 /windows ntfs defaults,nls=utf8,umask=007,uid=0,gid=46,noauto,rw,allow_other 0 1

and finally:

sudo adduser <normal-user-account> fuse

And still could not get what was possible in Feisty!!!:

$ mount /windows/
mount: sólo el usuario root puede montar /dev/sda1 en /windows
(in spanish: only root user can mount /dev/sda1 in /windows)

Simply I don't understand :-(. In fact:

s:~$ ll `which ntfs-3g`
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 37292 2007-10-08 17:22 /bin/ntfs-3g

So a normal user can execute ntfs-3g :-???

Please, what am I doing wrong?

By the way, don't you think that a bug must be issued against kde-systemsettings package? I mean that the option "users" and "user" were firstly generated by this graphical tool when I changed options for the NTFS partition. Thanks a lot! You are very kind!
