ok, I'll look into that.

FWIW... by now I've decided that there are WAAAAY too many "helpful"
utilities out there which need to know about filesystem specifics :)

This may be gnome-mount using hal using udev, which is currently
reporting things as "ext4" not "ext4dev" - do you see anything like that
in the system logs (maybe dmesg) when the automagic detection fails?
