Build Identifier: 

If fstab contains several mount points for a removable device (file system), user should be able to choose which point is used for a volume on a removable device. 

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Insert e.g. CD-RW to a CD recorder.
2. Click its item on side pane
3.

Actual Results:  
The first line in fstab containing the removable device is applied when mounting the device.

Expected Results:  
If /etc/fstab contains e.g these lines
/dev/hdc        /media/cdrecorder udf,iso9660   noatime,user,noauto,sync,rw 0 0
/dev/hdc        /media/cdrom   udf,iso9660     noatime,user,noauto,sync,ro 0 0

there should be a menu or dialog to choose between /media/cdrecorder and /media/cdrom. The mount point selected by user should be applied when mounting the volume.

Why I want this feature: I want to be able to mount read only for security reasons and to be able to read CD-RW volumes made by InCD. There may be occasions where automatically choosing file system (type) does not work.

Uff... selecting the mount point is done by HAL/gnome-mount. Thunar just offers appropriate fallbacks. But aside from the fact that HAL is some kind of a mess right now, Thunar just tells HAL to mount volume XYZ, and everything else (including figuring out a suitable mount point) is done by HAL and its helper tools (i.e. pmount or gnome-mount).
