AFAIK, noexec also turns off directories' executable bit. Which is also
a Bad Thing(TM). IMHO at least. ;) Plus, it seems to be ignored on VFAT
mountpoints on my machine. =\

But I do agree it's not ROX's problem. It really should be fixed in the
kernel, but getting the kernel people to 'fix' it would be a horse of a
entirely other pigmentation. ;)
