[SOLVED] Thunar doesn't show external volumes anymore

Hello,

Thunar used to show external devices (USB sticks, iPod, ...) in the left panel (when displaying shortcuts instead of tree). For some reason I can't figure, it doesn't do it anymore.
All I have in the left panel is the standard "home, Desktop, filesystem" and the static links to the different folders I placed there.

I tried to uninstall completely thunar and remove the configuration files, then re-install it, but it changed nothing.

Desktop : openbox.

Running daemons (I'm not sure if all of theme are relevant) : dbus, hal, fam.

.config/Thunar/thunarrc :

[Configuration]
DefaultView=void
LastCompactViewZoomLevel=THUNAR_ZOOM_LEVEL_SMALLEST
LastDetailsViewColumnOrder=THUNAR_COLUMN_NAME,THUNAR_COLUMN_SIZE,THUNAR_COLUMN_TYPE,THUNAR_COLUMN_DATE_MODIFIED
LastDetailsViewColumnWidths=50,204,50,50,134,50,50,64,109
LastDetailsViewFixedColumns=FALSE
LastDetailsViewVisibleColumns=THUNAR_COLUMN_DATE_MODIFIED,THUNAR_COLUMN_NAME,THUNAR_COLUMN_SIZE,THUNAR_COLUMN_TYPE
LastDetailsViewZoomLevel=THUNAR_ZOOM_LEVEL_SMALLER
LastIconViewZoomLevel=THUNAR_ZOOM_LEVEL_NORMAL
LastLocationBar=ThunarLocationButtons
LastSeparatorPosition=184
LastShowHidden=FALSE
LastSidePane=ThunarShortcutsPane
LastSortColumn=THUNAR_COLUMN_NAME
LastSortOrder=GTK_SORT_ASCENDING
LastStatusbarVisible=TRUE
LastView=ThunarIconView
LastWindowHeight=441
LastWindowWidth=743
LastWindowMaximized=FALSE
MiscVolumeManagement=TRUE
MiscCaseSensitive=FALSE
MiscDateStyle=THUNAR_DATE_STYLE_SIMPLE
MiscFoldersFirst=TRUE
MiscHorizontalWheelNavigates=FALSE
MiscRecursivePermissions=THUNAR_RECURSIVE_PERMISSIONS_ASK
MiscRememberGeometry=TRUE
MiscShowAboutTemplates=TRUE
MiscShowThumbnails=TRUE
MiscSingleClick=FALSE
MiscSingleClickTimeout=500
MiscTextBesideIcons=FALSE
ShortcutsIconEmblems=TRUE
ShortcutsIconSize=THUNAR_ICON_SIZE_SMALLER
TreeIconEmblems=TRUE
TreeIconSize=THUNAR_ICON_SIZE_SMALLEST

What should I do to get it working again ?

Thanks in advance !

PS : please tell me if I forgot anything. Also, I searched for similar topics in the forum, but haven't found anything.
