You won't be able to do it if you're not root. To mount a file as a normal 
user, you have to add a line like this to /etc/fstab :
/mnt/iso/isofs.raw      /mnt/iso/d      iso9660 loop,ro,noauto,user 0 0

But if you add this line, then you can just create a new cdrom device in 
your desktop to mount/umount it as if it was a regular cdrom drive.
So IMHO there's no need to create a new ioslave nor change the current 
kio_file.
