I am running KDE, dbus, and I like to mount drives by hand; all that without bothering to set up /etc/fstab... Often from CLI so I don't even see the notifications for new drives.

to sync any repositories on it.
## longer-term TODO
* Test MountWatcher on KDE, and add whatever dbus events KDE emits when
drives are mounted.
* Test MountWatcher on Gnome (should work ok) and LXDE (dunno).

* It would be nice if, when a USB drive is connected,
syncing starts automatically. Use dbus on Linux?
