Did you try to use autofs? Then automounting should work "from anywhere": KDE, GNOME, bash ...
Gruß Jan -- Apathy is the worlds fastest growing disease. But who cares?
Yep! While it does not really answer my question (why different versions of KDE 4.x don't work the same) you made my day (and probably many more days :) Actually I didn't really know about AutoFS (and would probably have avoided it from the name as I do hate automounting of CD, DVD and Co). AutoFS is poorly explained in most places I visited, but in the end I found a clear example of how to use it for NFS and yes, it does exactly what I want. Thanks a lot for the suggestion - I assume I can remove the fstab lines? Well, I'll try that and see. Gruss ebenfalls!

Maybe different PolicyKit settings...

You are welcome!

I started using it when I bought a NAS. Although it is online most of the time, sometimes it is not and, thus, I did not want to mount it at boot, too.

Yes. But getting the NFS shares to work was easy in comparison to automount the password protected home shares of the NAS via CIFS for any user without adding a static list of all users (* ... &).
but in the end I found a clear example of how to use it for NFS and yes, it does exactly what I want.
BTW, there are /etc/auto.net and /etc/auto.smb that mount every NFS and CIFS share they find on a given host, respectively.

You can.
Gruss ebenfalls!
