the dmesg output suggests that the phone is registered as a USB storage
device, make sure that USB storage mode in the phone is not turned on.
Yes, solved thank you by changing the mobile mode.
Further observations:
At xfce start, a dialogue dialogue windows appears advising an error
with wicd dbus connection. After starting the daemon (as root) wicd-gtk
starts successfully (as normal user) with the command 'wicd-gtk'.
As root:
wicd-gtk
(process:784): Gtk-WARNING **: Locale not supported by C library.
Using the fallback 'C' locale.
Importing pynotify failed, notifications disabled.

The mobile phone reports successful connection after approval to connect
to the computer, confirmed by identical mac addresses on both portable
computer and mobile phone. However, the wicd-gtk states not connection
and confirmed by failed use of lynx to access a web site.
Internet access is possible via usb mobile phone tether. Is there a
connection notification tool (i.e. a dialogue window that appears when
usb tether connection is enabled and disabled) compatible with xfce?
