You could have enabled "subfs" support in your system, I read somewhere that SuSE's kernel uses this submount thing to automount drives

You could have problems with submount. I've used it on SuSE and Gentoo before. A better option would be to use ivman to mount things through the use of hal and dbus. It works like a charm!
I don't know about other distros, but this article helped me set it up properly... Just replace the "emerge" steps with your own distro's package installation methods.

I was also disappointed with Suse. I personally think that any *Desktop* distro must come with lots of audio and video codecs. FC4 has the same problems as also Ubuntu I think.
If codecs and stuff is your issue, go Gentoo! Has everything you'll ever need!
