if you think about it - auto would probably be a bad idea in the fstab
since it wouldn't necessarily know which user to automount for.

I don't use KDE but I would guess like all other things KDE - somewhere
in the massive Kcontrol (Control Panel) there are things for this type
of behavior.

If you think about it - the intent of udev is to have user control over
these types of elements (removable disks whether a camera, a floppy, a
USB drive etc.). I can't believe that KDE is so crude as to require
someone to open a terminal and issue a command 'mount /media/SIMPTECH'
There has to be a more simple, intelligent way. You naturally gravitated
toward a hacker mentality and wanted to raw force the read issue as root
which as you can see now, wasn't the intended method - my guess is that
KDE has a method that somehow you aren't discovering.
