I don't use gnome, but since xfce is derived from it, I would have
expected the same behavior. The question of mounting media
upon insertion isn't straightforward. The installation CDs are made
readable although not mounted. Doug's solution provides an option
only: it allows the user to mount the device. If the "user" option is
given in /etc/fstab, it allows the user to mount the device, but that
would need a permanent mountpoint to be set. I used to be advised
that if I wanted my USB key to be mounted immediately, I should set a
mount point. As I understand it, with the new system that is no longer
the case, even for /dev/cdrom.
I have still occasionally been caught by removing media before writing
to it is finished.
Doug.
