I *think* it works along these lines: when HAL detects a new USB-storage device has been added to the system it tells DBUS about it. GVFS (which listens to DBUS) registers that a new device is present, checks for usable filesystems, if present creates the required mountpoint and mounts the filesystem on it. Since GVFS is a Gnome thing, it isn't necessarily going to be running when the user is in an XFCE or KDE session. If manually mounting the device works, and the automatic facility offered by KDE and XFCE also both work, then IMO it is possible that GVFS is the problem. Or I could have things completely wrong in my own mind and that the above is not how things happen at all. :s Grant. -- The Mailing List for the Devon & Cornwall LUG http://mailman.dclug.org.uk/listinfo/list FAQ: http://www.dcglug.org.uk/linux_adm/list-faq.html
