xfce is started with - "startxfce4 --with-ck-launch". (i start with 
runlevel 3, without starting x. so i can kill the x session and go to 
the commandline to fiddle arround and don't have to reboot but just to 
start my x4 which is a script with just 1 line: 'startxfce4 
--with-ck-launch')

i had gvfs 1.13.9, the latest 1.13. as far as i remember 1.14 requires 
gnome3. i now removed 1.13.9 and installed 1.12.3, the latest 1.12.

but no change. even after a reboot.

in 'removable drives and media' i have 'mount removable drives when 
hot-plugged', 'mount removable media when inserted' and 'browse 
removable media when inserted' active.

inserting a cd/dvd behaves as expected.

inserting a sd- or cf-card into the card-reader behaves as inserting an 
usb-stick: nothing happens.


for with udev i have a script (based on usbmount from debian) which 
detects plugged in usb-sticks and sd-/cf-cards and mounts / unmounts 
fine. but thunar / xfce does not do anything.

the kernel-log shows the system recognises the devices. fdisk -l shows 
them too. but nothing happens. if i have /media open in the 
file-manager, i can see the devices occur on insert and vanish on remove 
if my script is active. but i expect to get either a new file-manager 
window with the new device or at least a new desktop icon with a link 
the this device.

whenever i changed something i always try twice: once with my 
udev/usbmount and once without (meaning a 'exit 0' as line 2, where as 
line 1 is the standard '#!/bin/bash'.

my script always mountd/umounts the stick or card, but whatever i try, 
thunar / xfce just seems to ignore any usb- and / or mount-events. as 
cd/dvd are recognised and even open a window, the notification seems to 
be ok.

if there would be a global desktop-directory, i could just create a 
symlink to the mountpoint. but i was not able to find any "global 
desktop"-directory for xfce. as the script is started by udev, i don't 
know how to see which user(s) are active, thus i can't even put the link 
into the active users desktop-directory. what i can do is putting a link 
into each defined users desktop-directory. this works fine, but i really 
would like to learn and understand how to to it the RIGHT way.

i have no idea about d-bus, polkit or consolekit. maybe i have to fiddle 
there...

btw:
inserting a cd/dvd behaves as expected: the cd/dvd i mounted and a 
windows pops up.
BUT: i can't find a eject button. the drive is locked, i even can't 
eject by pressing the drives button - i have to go to the commandline.



thanks for your help
