Bug Description
Binary package hint: gnome-mount
Semi related to bug #175503.
System:
Description: Ubuntu karmic (development branch)
Release: 9.10
Package:
Architecture: amd64
Version: 0.8-2ubuntu1
Bug importance: wish list
Bug:
I have Windows installed on my laptop that I usually hibernate it instead of shutting it down.
Whenever I try to access the Windows partition, I get an ntfs-3g warning that I have an existing hiberfile and I can either remove it or mount the partition RO.
Preferred resolution:
Gnome-mount should mount the partition RO after receiving this error (but should be applicable to other file system mount errors) with a disableable warning window that informs the user that the mounted partition is currently RO.
A different icon for such mounts could be a visual cue too.

the mount policy seems rather a devicekit-disks things than a nautilus one
