For me usermount seems to work exactly the same in FC2 and FC3, it gives
a list of mount points configured with the user option in /etc/fstab
The main difference between FC2 and FC3 is that FC3 with udev doesn't
need many of these, removable media work just as well from the
"Computer" window.

However, I agree that it might be a nice addition to have a menu entry
for usermount running as root, one that prompts for the root pw and
allows all disks to be mounted and unmounted.
