Yup, that worked :-) But there are a few more steps to get it done really well. Here's what I did, in case anyone else needs it on Debian: apt-get install hal hal-device-manager pmount added the user to the 'hal' group ..and that's it :-) The one thing that is missing from my original request is to have a window pop-up whenever the key is inserted. This is apparently a gnome-only feature, but is likely to be in KDE 3.5. In the meanwhile, there is a very convenient alternative. In Control Center -> Desktop -> Behavior -> Device Icons click on 'show device icons'. Now when you plug in the USB device, an icon will automatically appear on the desktop.
