AFAIK this seems to be OK. There were problems with various versions of |
| 33 |
udev, & gvm, but you seem to have avoided those... |

Of course! well spotted Andrew! you need to start gvm - run |
| 43 |
`gnome-volume-manager &` from a terminal, then logout and back in again, |
| 44 |
and see if it works. |
| 45 |
|
| 46 |
After that, you could try the preferences for gvm, (in preferences > |
| 47 |
removable drives and media) and make sure automounting and such is |
| 48 |
checked. |
| 49 |
|
| 50 |
If that _still_ fails, then gnome 2.14 would be looking tempting to me - |
| 51 |
but you may not want to go that way... |

HTH! |
