Public bug reported:
I'm running Xubuntu 14.04.3:
3.13.0-57-generic #95-Ubuntu SMP Fri Jun 19 09:28:15 UTC 2015 x86_64 GNU/Linux

thunar:
Installed: 1.6.3-1ubuntu5
Candidate: 1.6.3-1ubuntu5
Version table:
*** 1.6.3-1ubuntu5 0

with all the latest updates. I run this on three different machines -
my home desktop, my work desktop and my home laptop.
As of about two weeks ago, I upgraded my home desktop to an Intel base,
and last week it stopped automounting any USB disk/flash drives UNLESS
Thunar is also running when I plug the drives in. (My work desktop is
also an Intel base and this never happens there.)
This happens for my usual flash drives and also my SATA-USB3 conversion
plug-in tray.
When the drive plugs in, it shows up in lsusb, but the notification
never appears, df does not see it and I can't access it normally.
I discovered that, if I am not running Thunar when the drive is plugged
in, I can run it, then click on the drive icon in the left vertical
panel, and that mounts the drive.
If I am running Thunar, it mounts (semi)automatically with full
notification, just like it used to without Thunar..
I have checked the Removable Drives and Media panel of settings, and the
Mount removable drives when hot plugged and Mount removable media when
inserted boxes are both checked.
What I expected to happen:
The drive mounts and is visible in df and accessible for all normal
commands.
What happened was:
The drive shows up in lsusb but nowhere else unless Thunar is running or
I start it up and click on the drive name.
