Bug Description
Binary package hint: gmountiso
When mounting an iso gmountiso asks for the root password rather than 'your password' or similar. Many users might be confused about what password to put in. Simple fix: change phrasing to be 'your password' or whatever the same thing in most apps is. ('password for $username' or similar)
I'm assuming this is on all versions of ubuntu, but I'm using the gmountiso package from Hardy. gmountiso version 0.4-0ubuntu2. This is a universe package so maybe should be passed upstream or at least to the ubuntu packager.

But why does it need to ask for a password?
Is this a security issue?
I want it to mount in my home directory, not outside. Should a password be required for mounting?
