I wouldn't do it at a higher level - filesystems are a low-level task and should be available to the whole system, not just GNOME applications or whatever.
Erm...When Gnome on Ubuntu automounts my usb devices they *are* available to the whole system. For example I just plugged in one of my USB sticks and in mount now I have /dev/sdh1 on /media/disk type vfat.
Are you sure you are not confusing this with how Gnome browses SMB resources, those are only available to certain applications because Gnome does it in more of an samba-client style then actually mounting the volume.
