Hmm yea. I guess I already had typed my root password in somewhere when 
I used gnome-mount. Because gnome-mount didn't ask me for any password 
when I tried mounting my NTFS partitions.

Guess that's solved then. Thanks ;)

For the ones that don't want to fiddle around in /etc/fstab, a tool 
called "ntfs-config" does that for you.
