There are a few different tools but I'm not sure which ones are on
opensuse since i stopped using that distro a few years ago you might
try pmount
incidentally have you tried XFCE yet it offers the best of both worlds
its nearly as light as wmaker but has a lot of the nicer features such
as auto mounting usb drives. XFCE is so nice and light it finally got
me to stop using AfterStep all together which was my favorite desktop
environment since 1996.
