hi marc,
>It seems that for Xfce you want the Thunar Volume Manager plugin i had already installed this plugin, but it doesn't seem to do much: an icon for the device appears on the side panel, but no corresponding mount point is created under /media. when i click on the icon a "Not Authorized" message appears. >Otherwise, I know of three modern (i.e. udev or udisks based) desktop >independent ways for auto-mounting: thanks for the suggestions. i'm thinking of giving udiskie a try, but i'm unable to find any documentation about it: what am i supposed to do after installation? anything to configure, init scripts to run? alles gute, lj
