Bug description:
  I just got a new USB drive.  It's pretty spiffy.

  Whenever I plug it in it automounts and appears on my desktop.  That's also
  pretty spiffy.

  The problem comes in two parts:

  1: The filesystem is mounted with a set of options that cause all files on the
  vfat drive to be marked executable (ie: the kernel default).

  2: When you double-click an executable but otherwise recognised file in
  nautilus, you get 'Do you want to run "file.abw", or display its contents?'.

  I don't ever want to execute an Abiword document.

  So either the defaults (in pmount?) need to be modified to change the file mode
  mask for vfat filesystems or nautilus needs to be patched to not ask this
  question all the time.
