Fedora 10/KDE: how to make vfat mount with shortname=mixed as default?

[Serguei Miridonov]

Hello,

I had posted this question to fedora-list with a hope that some 
advanced used could find a solution but till now that post is 
unanswered. So, now I hope that somebody from a developers community 
can help...

In konqueror from KDE 3.x there was an option in folder properties - 
"Mounting options" which could be used to specify some mounting 
options for certain drives (the volume was specified by the device ID, 
not sure now...). I could not find similar options in modern Dolphin 
file manager.

In fact, for myself, and probably for many other users, it would be 
more practical to make the option 'shortname=mixed' system-wide and 
add the possibility to adjust it for particular drives, if necessary. 
Is it possible in Fedora 10 without any program recompilation?

There are some forum posts about using gconf-editor, but it does not 
seem to work in KDE...

There are also related problems: for example, how one can add 'eject 
<device>' or 'sdparm --command=stop <device>' into hal or mount/umount 
helpers? This is necessary for proper handling external drives and 
flash memory.

Any idea?

Thanks.
