Ah, you're talking about mounting on demand, I don't call that automounting as it can be misleading. So as recap, what I call automounting is: plug in your usb stick, do nothing, stick gets mounted (optionally window appears with content). You call automounting: plug in your usb stick, click in file manager on device, file manager mounts stick. Is this interpretation right? Automounting normally needs HAL and an automounter like gnome-volume-manager or ivman. Mounting on demand doesn't need anything special, that's just a functionality some file managers like nautilus provide.
