Hello,
please, excuse me for asking this way. I didn't want to file a bug, I
did not find anything straight forward by searching various key words
including the above. If you point me to other ways of getting the
information I will certainly follow your advice.
If the computer is in two seat mode no user can access an USB storage
device from his or her gnome session. In single seat mode everything
works fine.
If you need more information I will produce it as fast as possible.
Recently, I installed a fresh Squeeze on new hardware. It is a two seat
computer, i.e. there are two GPU and monitors. I configured gdm, not
gdm3 as I didn't find any hint how to do it, to start up a lean dummy X
server and two X servers for the respective seats. By login the gnome
sessions are run. Almost everything works just fine besides [1].
Especially accessing CD or DVD works and fixed storage is obviously no
matter.
The following holds even if just one user has an active gnome session.
If I plug an USB storage device I see it in dmesg:

It also appears in HAL, see attached excerpt from lshal, please.
But at the desktop I get the "Unable to mount location", "Not
authorized" in its German equivalent, for the USB stick from the above
dmesg: "Einhängen von 8,0GB Dateisystem nicht möglich" "Not Authorized".
I am able to mount it as root:

Following the hint at [2] I created a /etc/polkit-1/PolicyKit.conf:
8< ----------------------------------------------------------------- >8
root@douglas:~# cat /etc/polkit-1/PolicyKit.conf
<config version="0.1">

</match>
</match>
</config>

After reboot it still didn't work. Anyway, "pkaction" gives nothing with
"storage" or "removable" and with "mount":
org.freedesktop.udisks.filesystem-mount
org.freedesktop.udisks.filesystem-mount-system-internal
org.freedesktop.udisks.filesystem-unmount-others
The user "aumader" is in almost all groups:

I hope you can help me configuring the system correctly!
