ok haven`t been here a while
i am working on a klik deamon(it`s in bash but i think porting it to C/C++ or Python/Perl) it doesn`t need root permisons to mount images nither use fstab.
it`s the same way that KDE mediamanager works and MacOSX mounter(for dmg`s and iso`s) it`s a deamon that work at root-level so there is no need to have fstab coz the mounter can mount images coz it`s running from root but using signals you can tell him from a user-level program to mount something.

i have some time now so i can do things but i need some time to complete the deamon.
some things that the deamon will include:
1.handling recpices
2.mounting/unmounting cmgs
3.update menus(didn`t think about inotify so maybe it will be in the pre-1.0 now the deamon is only in pre-alpha so there is alot of things to do before this)
4.kio-slave isn`t a way for cmgs-kioslave can handle images only commpressed file.
5.intergaion with KDE mediamanger will be good but optional

my last goal on klik is a klik-based distro(not optimized but based so most of the apps will be klik`s)

just need some time.
