KDE does not auto-mount my USB devices anymore

Hi,

After the upgrade of dbus a few days ago, KDE won't mount my
USB devices 
automatically anymore.
Any suggestions where to start my search?

HAL and DBUS are wonderful tools with KDE. They tend to be
problemmatic at 
times though. Since you upgraded dbus... did you by chance
reload the hal and 
dbus daemons? Howabout restarting kde? Upgrades aren't
always seamless and 
you have to kick the daemons from time to time.

That said, I've dumped hal, dbus and all the related support
from KDE and have 
gone over to using automount... 

Cheers.

I needed to run revdep-rebuild following the dbus update. 
Have you done this?

Yes, revdep-rebuild is done and all daemons and KDE are
restarted (reboot).
I can see in dmesg that the device is being recognized:

usb-storage: device found at 38

I can manually mount sdd1 but thats not really what I want.

I remember that I had to recompile
"kde-base/kdebase-kioslaves" after hal and 
dbus upgrade to make the automount feature in kde work again
... maybe you 
can try that ...

brgds, Marc

After finding http://gentoo-wiki.com/TIP_D-BUS_Session_Bus_with_KDM
and 
following it automounting in KDE works again.

What's the difference between system D-BUS (rc-update
thingy) and session 
D_BUS (script in .kde/env)?  I'm afraid the wiki doesn't
explain it 
adequately for my humble needs.

adding the script to 
kd/env.
