 +====== Wrapper script for gnome-mount ======
  
 +===== Introduction =====
 +
 +Some programs like GVfs hard depend on the 'gnome-mount' utility but Xfce users usually don't have it installed. But Xfce has 'exo-mount' which has similar functionality. The following wrapper script can be used as a drop-in replacement for 'gnome-mount' which simply calls 'exo-mount' with the appropriate command line arguments. It accepts all options but passes only those to 'exo-mount' which are actually supported and ignores the rest.
 +
 +The script was tested with Bash and Dash but should work with other shells as well.
 +
 +===== Usage =====
 +
 +Simply save the script as 'gnome-mount' in a directory in your path, e.g. /usr/local/bin or ~/bin and make it executable.

 +#
 +#
 +# This script aims to be a wrapper script to provide the
 +# gnome-mount utility on envrionments which only have
 +# exo-mount (e.g. Xfce). It accepts all command line arguments
 +# which are passed but ignores all which are not supported by
 +# exo-mount.
 +#
 +# (This script was tested with Bash and Dash.)
 +#
 +# Possible use case is as a drop-in replacement to get mounting
 +# local resources with GVfs working, e.g. mounting disks in CD drives.
 +#
 +# Usage:
 +# Save this script as 'gnome-mount' in a directory in your path,
 +# e.g. /usr/local/bin or ~/bin and make it executable.
