    I am using Sarge with a kernel 2.6.7-1-686. I have udev and hotplug and
    gnome-volume-manager. However, I do not get an icon automatically when I
    plug in a USB stick. In the other two machines in my home LAN, in which
    I am running Sid, I can get the icon consistently.

    In this machine, running Sarge, I set up udev the same way as in other
    machines. Sometimes (rarely) when I plug in the USB stick I do get the
    icon on the desktop and it gets automatically mounted. Also, this hasn't
    happened for a few days now. Usually, it happens only if I insert the
    USB stick for the first time after reboot.

    But syslog shows that it sees USB insertion and de-pluggin events
    consistently. I also get the links made in /dev as I have specified in
    udev rules files for the USB stick I have. The only thing that does not
    happens is that the icon does not appear on the desk and it does not get
    mounted automatically (just as if gnome-volumen-manager is not seeing
    the stick). I have tried it in 2.6.9 kernel as well, but it doesn't work
    there even. Any idea what I am missing here?
