the powers that be have decided this a bit different:)
- udev is conceptually for creating device nodes and tagging the devices - udisks is the service that abstracts mounting towards desktops etc.
Mounting is done by desktop agents... - gnome GVFS - not sure about KDE4
and background mounting with - udisks-glue e.g. is a system daemon that implements automount policies.
I'm certainly ignorant of the processes to automount, but I do know it has to be tricky. Whatever the process, I think that there has to be a global (root-owned) policy to control automounting.
Udisks uses Polkit to determine if a user is privelegded to mount a given device. The automounter, which runs as a normal user process, just triggers the mounting action, but has neither special privileges nor asks for any. The final decision is done by udisks/polkit.
