[SOLVED] Auto-Mounting Does Not Occur (XFCE)

Hi, so I'm trying to get automounting working under XFCE + Arch64 (SLiM as display manager) and it refuses to work no matter what I do.

I've followed the wiki page on XFCE and I've done what it says here, too.  I have gamin, polkit, and polkit-gnome installed.

inittab:

#
# /etc/inittab
#

#  Runlevels:
#    0    Halt
#    1(S)	Single-user
#    2    Not used
#    3    Multi-user
#    4    Not used
#    5    X11
#    6    Reboot

## Only one of the following two lines can be uncommented!
# Boot to console
#id:3:initdefault:
# Boot to X11
id:5:initdefault:

rc::sysinit:/etc/rc.sysinit
rs:S1:wait:/etc/rc.single

login_cmd           exec /bin/bash -login ~/.xinitrc %session

# They can be used for registering a X11 session with
# sessreg. You can use the %user variable
#
# sessionstart_cmd	some command
# sessionstop_cmd	some command

# Start in daemon mode. Valid values: yes | no
# Note that this can be overriden by the command line
# options "-d" and "-nodaemon"
# daemon	yes

# Available sessions (first one is the default).
# The current chosen session name is replaced in the login_cmd
# above, so your login command can handle different sessions.
# see the xinitrc.sample file shipped with slim sources
sessions            xfce4,icewm-session,wmaker,blackbox

# Executed when pressing F11 (requires imagemagick)
screenshot_cmd      import -window root /slim.png

# welcome message. Available variables: %host, %domain
welcome_msg         Welcome to %host

# Session message. Prepended to the session name when pressing F1
# session_msg         Session: 

# shutdown / reboot messages
shutdown_msg       The system is halting...
reboot_msg         The system is rebooting...

# default user, leave blank or remove this line
# for avoid pre-loading the username.
#default_user        simone

# Focus the password field on start when default_user is set
# Set to "yes" to enable this feature
#focus_password      no

# Automatically login the default user (without entering
# the password. Set to "yes" to enable this feature
#auto_login          no

# randomly choose from

# Lock file

# Log file
logfile             /var/log/slim.log

~/.xinitrc

#!/bin/sh
#
# ~/.xinitrc
#
# Executed by startx (run your window manager from here)

#if [ -d /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc.d ]; then
#  for f in /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc.d/*; do
#    [ -x "$f" ] && . "$f"
#  done
#  unset f
#fi

#exec ck-launch-session dbus-launch startxfce4
exec startxfce4

(You can see I've been toggling between using ck-launch and dbus in the exec statement and not using them)

And here's every package installed on my system in case it would help.

As always, any help appreciated!

Re: [SOLVED] Auto-Mounting Does Not Occur (XFCE)

Install gvfs and use thunar and use the second last line in your .xinitrc and it should just work. See https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Thunar

Ps: with slim, his .xinitrc is ok (it handles consolekit automatically).

Re: [SOLVED] Auto-Mounting Does Not Occur (XFCE)

Wow, thanks!  Installing gvfs + depends fixes it (plus I now have a Trash).  Thought I tried that before, hmm. 

Marking as [SOLVED].
