I've found KDE's own system, using HAL, D-BUS and pmount to be excellent. |

That's probably because you're running two automounters, which are |

conflicting. You don't need autofs, and probably should not run it, when |

The KDE system is also more flexible in that you can specify default or |
| 19 |
automatic actions for different types of media; open a file manager |
| 20 |
window for a USB stick, run Kaffeine for a video DVD etc. |
