    Before I answer your above queries, a little update. I rebooted my
    machine this morning and the USB stick was being mounted and the icon
    was being displayed properly on the desktop. Then I did an upgrade and
    noticed gnome-volume-manager (and probably hal) got upgraded. Since
    then, I again lost the USB stick automatic mounting and the icon on the
    desktop :(

    pmount is installed:
    $> dpkg -l pmount | grep ^ii
    ii pmount 0.4.3-1 mount removable devices as normal user

    And gnome-volume-manager is running:
    $> ps uax | grep gnome-vol
    me 5768 0.0 2.6 17684 6868 ? Ss 23:41 0:00
    gnome-volume-manager --sm-client-id default5

    I am not sure what "registered in gnome session" means though(?) Maybe
    this is the culprit.

    thanks,
    ->HS
