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.
So how does that get to work? What Gnome utility does it?
As Richard said yesterday, gnome-volume-manager.
I ran that yesterday and nothing *appeared* to happen. It's still happily running. Should it automatically spot USB mass storage devices being plugged in and mount them for you or do I need to do something to configure it or make it do something?
