extended file attributes on external devices

Hi,

I've recently bought a usb-pen-drive to carry all my private data with
me. I encrypted it with LUKS and created an ext3 file system because I
wanted a journal. Then I noticed that mounting that drive on another
machine will cause the uid to be set to the uid from the machine where
the stick was formatted.
This is bad. I would consider to make gnome-mount use chown and use the
uid of the gnome-session owner.

How about that?
