Thanks Andrea, that works. I installed udev, hal, gnome-volume-manager
(and their dependencies of course). Now the devices appear in nautilus
after plugging.
In addition, after poking around and realizing
that I needed to
chmod +x /etc/hal/device.d/fstab-update.sh
the devices are automounted! Very nice. The volume names are a bit
obscure (named disk-<major>-<minor>-) but I can live with this.
Presumably a later version will be more desktop friendly.
Thanks again.
