I started playing with gvm/hal/dbus/pmount today, but have had some problems.
1. gnome-volume-manager is not started on login-- but I can start it from the command line (and thus add it to the session at a later date). 2. When I insert a data cd into my cdrom drive, gvm/hal/pmount mounts the cd 7 times (as scd0 through scd6). If I insert an audio cd, gnome-cd is launched 7 times. 3. I can't unmount the cd from within nautilus (right click on device, Unmount volume). It said I wasn't the one who mounted it. Have to unmount each from the command line as root. I am in the plugdev group. I removed /media/* (but they get recreated when I insert a cd). I removed the entries from /etc/fstab. Obviously I am doing something wrong, and am the first to admit that I am very new to gvm/hal/dbus/pmount. I googled for documentation, but couldn't find much. I looked in /usr/share/doc/gvm|hal|pmount but couldn't make much headway beyond what I have already done.
