Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: gnome-volume-manager

Start a local Xserver, set/export DISPLAY and connect to a remote (gutsy) 
system via 'ssh -X [EMAIL PROTECTED]'.
Start 'gnome-session' on the remote system.
Now plug a USB-Drive on the remote system. It won't get automounted. The reason 
is, that gnome-volume-manager is not running.

This is because of some code in manager.c (function gvm_local_user) which does 
a check whether the user is local or not. Are there reasons for that 
restriction?
A 'sudo touch /var/run/console/<username>:7' before 'gnome-session' is a 
workaround for that problem.
