I'm afraid not. I can mount ntfs with write enabled by the console
command above. But kde (Storage Media panel applet) always mounts the
partion with ntfs module and never uses ntfs-3g. I think it's an kde
problem but I don't know how to solve this. If I remove the ntfs
module then kde still ignores ntfs-3g and doesn't mount the partition
with an "unknown file system" error any more.
