Before I answer your above queries, a little update. I rebooted my machine this morning and the USB stick was being mounted and the icon was being displayed properly on the desktop. Then I did an upgrade and noticed gnome-volume-manager (and probably hal) got upgraded. Since then, I again lost the USB stick automatic mounting and the icon on the desktop :(
pmount is installed: $> dpkg -l pmount | grep ^ii ii pmount 0.4.3-1 mount removable devices as normal user
And gnome-volume-manager is running: $> ps uax | grep gnome-vol me 5768 0.0 2.6 17684 6868 ? Ss 23:41 0:00 gnome-volume-manager --sm-client-id default5
I am not sure what "registered in gnome session" means though(?) Maybe this is the culprit.
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).
Looking in your previous post, you don't mention the "hal" package...
