That took some getting used to, but I recovered.  Now I just look in
both places, since I mount under /mnt and the system likes to do it
under /media.  Then again...

I thought so to, especially because Fedora tries to launch totem (which
always comes without DVD support) when I put in a DVD and I wanted xine
instead.  Turns out it was pretty easy to reconfigure this automount
behavior under XFce (I supposed GNOME is similar but don't know about
KDE).  Under Settings->Removable Drives and Media there are a bunch of
settings to fix the automount annoyances.
