There already seems to be a PolicyKit method to configure which user can
access removable media. (see screenshot)

Marcelo, can you please explain why sessions started by NX do not honor
these permissions? Are all NX sessions started with "Active Console"
permissions?

Status in FreeNX open source NX Server: New

Bug description:
Using latest packages from FreeNX PPA on Ubuntu Hardy.

Steps to reproduce:
1. Make sure no user is logged in on FreeNX server host.
2. Connect to FreeNX server host via NX using session GNOME.
3. Insert USB storage device or a CDROM into the FreeNX server host.

Result:
The medium is mounted, assigned to the remotely logged in user and shown on his remote GNOME desktop via NX.
If a different user logs in locally on the NX server he does not have permissions to access the medium.

Expected result:
The medium should not be mounted and the remote NX user should not be able to access it. 
If a user logs in locally on the NX server the medium should be mounted with his permissions and appear on his local GNOME desktop.
