Couple of problems to report. 1) Plugging in a USB key works fine. It automounts and shows up in Nautilus. It also shows up when I run the 'mount' command. When I unmount it in Nautilus, the icon still shows on the desktop, but mount says its unmounted (no listing). Upon doing a second unmount from Nautilus, it says the device is not mounted. The icon remains on the desktop. 2) If I log out and then shutdown from gdm, it works fine, but if I shutdown from within the session directly, it hangs. No keyboard, no mouse, but the desktop remains on the screen. There is also a telltale sound from the client which happens when the machine shuts down. Its almost like the client shut down, but forgot to tell the monitor ;-) Other than that, it works great. Very impressive indeed!!!
