I agree with Thomas here, ROX_Filer shouldnt be bloated with HAL
code.

This could still be accomplished. For example, the 
mount-daemon/rox-volume-manager/whatever could just dynamically create 
appdirs that corresponds to mountpoints. These could be put in 
Choices/Mount/Volumes (or something) and be made to appear on the 
desktop if ROX-Filer supported adding desktop icons using dbus or xml-rpc.
