A similar but worse situation most likely. There's a lot of gunk that
assumes that the person logged into the console automatically owns some
of the devices - a concept that doesn't make much sense in the context
of a multiuser system that can handle concurrent users. And I think
some of that is wired into the GUI parts. I'd say you are better off
avoiding that and mounting/unmounting things the way you want.
