I'm not exactly sure what you mean by the fact that both KDE and GNOME
present mount dialogs for the user: usbmount is *not* meant to be used
with KDE or GNOME.

It leverages the facilities of udev to provide a way to mount devices
for people that are using windows managers or just a plain console as
their working environment.

Gnome or another DE interface like in Windows (Removable drive
configuration - "Performance" or "Quick eject").

The Desktop Environments already provide a way for users to accomplish
that task. Those users are out of the target audience for usbmount. If
the filesystems should be mounted with the sync or async options, then
this should be reported to the users preferred desktop environment.

Basically, besides the documentation, I can't see anything that
usbmount should do.
