Mounts a device.

Parameters:

  | device | the path to the device (e.g. /dev/fd0)
  | mountpoint | the directory where to mount the device [optional, fstab is used otherwise]
  | desktopFile | the file the user clicked on - to notify KDirWatch of the fact that it should emit fileDirty for it (to have the icon change)
