As i have detailed in a post [1] from June this year it is no longer
possible to use g-v-m as packaged in Squeeze as automount daemon.
The reason for that is that the Gnome developers migrated this
functionality to nautilus. Unfortunately it is not possible to run
nautilus as daemon without having it managing your "Desktop" as well. I
really wonder what g-v-m is used for these days then?!
If you want nautilus to manage your Desktop anyway you just have to
start it and you can use basically any WM or DE you like ....
I am using halevt for automounting right now, but you will need to fix a
few bugs [2] in order to use it. These bugs are only related to the way
halevt is packaged within Debian right now and are easy to fix. Apart
from these problems halevt works like a charm and might be the most
lightweight solution for automounting removeable devices.
