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?
