On Linux there is no official (i.e. sancioned by a certain L.T. from F.)
automounter, AFAIK. But there are 3 unofficial ones.
- automount: meant to be used for NFS shares. Unmounts a share after a
  defined timeout, like 30s
- supermount: daemon taking control over mountable devices at boot time.
tricks kernel into thinking those devices are mounted, even when there
is no medium present really. Maintained by the Mandrake distro. But 
with every new kernel release they have a hard time making it work again
- magicdev: closest to what you describe above. Works only from inside
a gnome session. Developed by RedHat. I yet have to get it working :(
Maybe it only works with the Nautilus file-manager, dunno.

Welcome to the wonderful world of Linux *g*
