I don't think my problem is udev though -- the launchpad URL you gave suggests that a little bit of shell code should return a number > 1000 for the problem to exist (I have to admit that I haven't really interrogated the code, but it looks like it's just looking for a count of file descriptors?) Anyhoo, when I ran it here, I get '22'. Also, Dolphin (KDE file browser) doesn't suffer from the problem -- my unmounted removable storage shows up in the list on the left and I can mount and work with the drive from there. It's just annoying to have to launch up Dolphin every time I insert a drive...

When things stop working the way they have for the last goodness-knows-how-long, I'm willing to try just about anything. -- -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- There is no shame in not knowing; the shame is in not finding out.
