I was meaning that your "gnome-volume-manager" needs to be started by you if not "registered" in your gnome session (check from the Gnome menu: Applications -> Desktop Preferences -> Advanced -> Session), and from the ps output seems that is started from the session manager (the --sm-client-id in the snippet above).
