Fedora Woes

[Noah John Gellner]

My concern is having to do a hack. The program that I want to run is
LinNeighborhood so that I will mount my samba shares. I know that I
could automount them by putting a line into my /etc/fstab. However,
there must be a way to do run a program at startup that doesn't require
root permission. Technically there is no reason that this shouldn't be
the case and indeed the gnome default is to allow it. At some point it
appears that Fedora developers decided to remove this functionality. I
don't get why.
