Drat! Changed that one to "noauto". I'll have to "ribit" and try that
one again.

]$ grep OLDh /etc/fstab
# /dev/sda7            /mnt/OLDhardtolove   ext2    noauto          0 0
LABEL=OLDhardtolove     /mnt/OLDhardtolove   ext2   defaults,ro     0 0

$ mount
/dev/mapper/VolGroup00-LogVol00 on / type ext3 (rw)
proc on /proc type proc (rw)
sysfs on /sys type sysfs (rw)
devpts on /dev/pts type devpts (rw,gid=5,mode=620)
/dev/sdb1 on /boot type ext3 (rw)
tmpfs on /dev/shm type tmpfs (rw)
/dev/sda7 on /mnt/OLDhardtolove type ext2 (ro)

No icon on the desktop.

BTW. On the previous test, I could not umount the device from the
desktop. That would be because it was mounted prior to GUI instantiation
and so the GUI user was not the "owner" I guess.
