Hopefully you mean to X not to the shell. You don't want users
executing smbmount with every new shell.
If we were talking regular X here, you'd want that in
/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xdm/{Give,Take}Console (the latter for unmounting).
I haven't a clue where KDE and Gnome will keep this stuff.

No it doesn't. You've got $LOGNAME and $HOME at X login time.

Huh? It wouldn't be possible for KDE and Gnome to lack an equivalent
to TakeConsole. You have to chown the devices back to root or the
next user to login is screwed. The original purpose for these files
is to let the console user actually have access to the console
devices.

As I said, I know for regular X11R6.

Automounting's the right way to do this because it doesn't rely on
the GUI. Any user who logs in in any way should get this, it
shouldn't be relying on your GUI logins.

How does that relate? That's just the startup script that processes
through /etc/fstab for system mounts that require networking.
automountd is configured through /etc/auto_master and friends. See
automountd(8).

It unmounts automatically after a timeout. Yes, even if the user's
still logged in (though obviously it can't if a directory under the
mount is in use). That's okay, because it remounts again on any use.

automountd is the Right answer.
