It might be the ugly way, but it is the official way. 
This is definately *not* a Wine issue because it
affects any application which relies on have a static
name for the drive - let's make sure we're clear on
that. ;)  I suspect this "mounting by volume label"
won't last past Suse 9.3 since I haven't read anyone
praise this "feature" anywhere.
