Using vfat as the filesystem only works if the filesystem is truly
fat/fat32. Is the filesystem possibly NTFS?

Thank you for the suggestion but, alas, it did not
solve the problem. It still won't automatically mount
the windows drive in gnome (I can still do it as root)
and in KDE I can't do it at all.

Of course, you would have to change hdb1 to match
whatever yours is, and
remember to create a "windows" group with your
username in it...
