Xfce 4.4 and Thunar automounting of USB stick

[Chris Shenton]

When you try to open a Thunar window to look at some directory, does
it work?  It did for me on one box, once, but since thing the window
comes up with a gray pane and two white panels then hangs, with "top"
saying it's in state "kserel".  I haven't been able to resolve this on
the ports or thunar lists. :-(

The one time I saw it work, it was able to mount USB drives
automatically (in my case, a digital audio recorder). I didn't have to
do anything special but I was running hald and friends.
