Then you must log out and back in again to make it "take".

Hi Ron
Thanks for the steer - did that, logged out and back in again and fired
up the camera. I still get the dialog box that tells me there are images
on the camera and would I like to import/ignore them. I select import
and still nothing. On my other camera the Sony, an image appears on the
desktop as well as the dialog box. With this camera though, there is
just the dialog box ... no icon.
I am feeling stumped.
Check out syslog.
Open up a (large) xterm and run this:
# tail -n40 -f /var/log/syslog
Then plug in and turn on the A640.
BTW, have you verified that gphoto2 recognizes the A640?

Hi again
Yes, apparently gphoto2 *does* recognise the camera (and this is
confirmed by Canon as well). However, with the Sony, I never used
gphoto2 and only installed it thinking that it might help with this one.
Anyway, here's the output of your suggestion:

Aside from the USB messages, it looks like the camera is being
recognised. But, beyond that ...
