There indeed was; before that change, gnome-vfs incorrectly used mount instead
of pmount.

Ok, to clean this up:

 - Users who want to use removable devices are supposed to be in the plugdev
group. It just works (or rather worked) for CD-ROMs since /cdrom is usually in
the fstab.

 - I agree that this is a bit inconsistent, so I'll change gnome-vfs2 to fall
back to mount if it cannot execute pmount.
