I am strictly against such a confirmation question, because it is totally
unnecessary.

Nobody will accidentially drop a file upon an unmounted device. And even if the
user does, Dolphin will ask, wether the file should be copied or moved. Thus in
any case, the user has the possibility to cancel his request.

In a perfect world, mounting and unmounting shouldn't be managed by the user at
all. The system should always do it automatically. I know it is technical
issue, but the concept is totally redundant for the user. If the user plugs in
his USB Stick, he/she already expressed his wish to access the data on it.
Don't ask him to mount it, do it automatically. Plus, there is no performance
penelity through having mounted devices which are not used. I could go on like
this, but I think I made my point.
