"autorun" type functionality from automounter

[Justin Dugger]

Or if you want something a bit more attached to your user's session
rather than the system, you could investigate dbus/hal.  This is how
GNOME automatically mounts USB drives and CD drives as your user,
among other things.  In fact, one of the options I see under
"Removable Media and Storage" is which command to run when a Portable
Music Player is connected.  It seems to be oriented to playing music
locally, but I see no reason why you can't change the command to do
your sync instead of starting rhythmbox.
