I'd like to say that I fixed it. But honestly, I have no clue whats going on here. On startup, I used FindDeviceByCapability(volume), which should - according to the documentation and my tests - return the list of all currently connected volumes, no matter if mounted or not. This seems to work just fine here (HAL 0.5.6, two different USB drives), but it doesn't seem to work for other systems. I have tried to figure out what GNOME does reading gnome-vfs-hal-mounts.c and change the startup procedure accordingly. Looks like it still works here, can you check it again? > Is this a bug or is something weird on my system? I tend to say neither. It's just HAL. > PS: Thunar seems to be depending on pmount which is not shipped with Fedora. Which replacement for pmount is provided on Fedora (btw. looking at the source, there doesn't seem to be anything that prevents it from running on Fedora)?
