There was a discussion about this on the thread "mkinitrd and
Mageia2". As near as I can figure, there used to be something, maybe
GNOME-related, that kicked in for LXDE and GNOME apps run under KDE
and automounted removable disks. It stopped doing this a week or so ago.
KDE recognizes the volume availability, but does not automount the
volume unless you choose some action from the device notification
popup that it (KDE) realizes requires it, e. g. Dolphin (or maybe
Dolphin does the automount).
The result is that (at least) LXDE and GNOME apps under KDE which
require mounted volumes like brasero or anything under wine no longer
work. Wine apps stopped working under KDE a while ago, probably for
this reason, and probably because wine doesn't "trigger" whatever
GNOME apps under KDE were triggering.
I've just found that if you right-click on the device notifier panel
icon and select Settings, then Removable Media, there is an option to
automount removable media which is not checked. I'll bet the default
for this changed with the latest KDE upload. Still doesn't explain why
LXDE has problems, tho.
