hald/gnome issues

[Stewart C. Russell]

I _had_ a system which used to autodetect removable media, and after a 
recent upgrade*, it doesn't. Before I go back and rebuild absolutely 
everything that could have been affected (hald, dbus, 
gnome-volume-manager, hotplug, udev, kernel headers and possibly even 
glibc), has someone snuck in a new required part of this process, or 
quietly 'deprecated' someyhing I was relying on?

I'd seen the package 'ivman' bandied about on the Gentoo forums, but 
that looks like it'd get in the way. I'm assuming I'll have to redo 
everything on <http://gentoo-wiki.com/HOWTO_gnome-volume-manager>; is 
that reasonable?

cheers,
  Stewart

*: upgrade in name only. It's a positive downgrade in terms of usability.
