GVM and gthumb

After upgrading to Gnome 2.16, I've noticed a few things no longer work. gnome-volume-manager doesn't seem to get started with the Gnome session and doesn't work when I run it manually from a terminal. Also, gthumb is no longer able to import photos through the use of my card reader. Any ideas?

any output if you run : gnome-volume-manager -n

No output and the process seems to die right away.

[john@metatron ~]$ gnome-volume-manager -n
[john@metatron ~]$ ps x | grep gnome-volume
 5245 pts/0    S+     0:00 grep gnome-volume
[john@metatron ~]$ killall gnome-volume-manager
gnome-volume-manager: no process killed

strange, make sure hal is running.
And check if you have done pacman -Suy

Done all of that, still the same problem.

So I dug a bit further into this gnome-volume-manager problem and I think I found part of it. It seems that it only runs correctly if you access Gnome by way of GDM. If you start your desktop from the command line using startx, gnome-volume-manager won't run at all. No idea why and hopefully this gets fixed.
