I would like to right click on my second harddrive and have an option to mount on boot. I would also like the option to appear in the properties dialogue.

Should be clear; no need to clutter the context menue.

This is a domain where, sadly, only low-level access is possible. It has to be made usable to more users.

Just automount all drives that can be mounted automatically.

Save a list of all mounted drives at shutdown. When turned on again the saved mounts are restored automatically so no configuration app or similar is needed. If you don't want a mounted drive to reappear after reboot, just unmount it before computer shutdown!

at the moment auto mounting of ressources over wlan is a pain...
sometime the ressources (e.g. NAS over WLAN) are recognised and mounted automatically
sometimes a mount -a is necessary

similarity is given to the shutdown "experience" where sometime ubuntu is waiting for the ressource while it might have been shutdown already

I think to solve this problem there could be made a second option in the gconf-editor. Something like media_mount_on_systemstart.
And then media_automount should be used only for the automount while media_mount_on_systemstart handles whether the options auto/noauto if fstab are ignored or not.
Another way to solve this would be to let media_automount handle the automount only and let fstab handle the rest.
Right now it's description is as following:
"If set to true, then Nautilus will automatically mount media such as user-visible hard disks and removable media on start-up and media insertion."
I think it should be reduced to:
"If set to true, then Nautilus will automatically mount media such as user-visible hard disks and removable media on insertion."
