It might have helped if there were some documentation about that.  I see
no man file, info file, and nothing useful for it
in /usr/share/doc/gnome-mount*/

Why do programmers insist in useless README files?  They usually have
nothing that *needs* reading, and don't say anything about what you
*need* to know.

There's only gnome-mount --help (or --help-all).  And I'm reluctant to
try unknown programs with a --help option, some start doing something
other than give you help information.

Well, once we know how to use it, we could alias a shorter command name
to it.
