A system capable of determining to put a device in /var/run/media/<username> is surely capable of appending [2,3,*] or <username> or bus## if and when another device with an identical label is being mounted to a different USB bus ID. /var/run/ is not a place where mere mortal users should be looking for anything, much less files on a stick just plugged. If <username> is going to be part of the mountpoint name, why not /home/<username>/media/<label>?
Please don't pullute user's homes with mount points or symlinks (or any other non-dotfiles).
Why not? From KDE 4.10.5 a new $HOME already has:
Desktop Documents Downloads Music Pictures Public Templates Videos
none of which *I* created.
Well, I decide where I want to download files , keep my videos or whatever. And because don't use KDE4 it's even more annoying that it creates such directories when I just start it one time for fun. Other programs may create other trash. I really hate that.
Please, lay the "Blame" where it belongs: well defined standards and their implementation, here it's from freedesktop.org: http://freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/xdg-user-dirs (rpm package has the same name) This is nothing special to GNOME or KDE, it's for all DE's To limit "Wild" putting the files everywhere, it was asked for by the user-communities and thus created and as fully implemented as possible, do give a 'standart' set of "well known" directories to a user to help them. To most of the "simple" users this is a help to give their own "order" a starting point. Look at your "Autostart" and disable it, if if is not for you.
