GVM *still* doesn't work

I was hoping that this problem would be fixed with a new GNOME version but gnome-volume-manager still only works if you use GDM.  If you use startx, not only does it not start, but executing it manually exits right away with no error.

Possibly it needs dbus? Did you try with dbus-launch startx?
or in  your .xinitrc, when you are starting your WM with exec wm,
then try
exec dbus-launch --sh-syntax --exit-with-session wm

Re: GVM *still* doesn't work

If you are not using Gnome but XFCE4, why don't you use ivman or thunar-volman? Besides that, gnome-volume-manager expects dbus and hal running and is otherwise tied to a X-Session by sessreg, which is called by GDM. Maybe you should call sessreg from your xinitrc?
