I'm working on a port for gMTP, a GUI for libmtp, but it's going slowly. Anyone interested in helping? A lot of it is getting the Sourceforge download tweaked. I also put in a patch for getting my phone to *not* offer a virtual CD of drivers when it's plugged in, but to go right to communicating in MTP. I may need to refactor the relevant code, but I'm sure other people will need their phones added to the "special snowflake" category. Unfortunately, I don't think there's any reliable way to recognize the situation without adding all knowledge of all relevant devices to the kernel. MTP isn't really a terrible idea; the storage remains accessible to the phone while you're transferring to and from it, which is not a good idea with generic mass storage.
