After recent xfce update there isn't an icon on the xfce desktop when I plug in my usbstick anymore. Does anyone else have the same issue?
permissions of the device file:
brw-rw---- 1 root storage 8, 1 2007-12-06 00:44 /dev/sda1
my user as well as the hal user are in the storage group.
I tried to run xfce as root too, same issue.

The only issue I encountered was that it the first time took a while longer for it to be mounted. After that it goes as quick as before.

does it appear in thunar sidepane?
Maybe you just have to F5, no?

No, works here as before the update.

Thanks for all these answers.
@nDray: no, it doesn't appear in the sidepane. And f5 doesn't help neither.
I tried to format the usbstick also with ext3. Same issue.... Damn
edit:
I installed gnome to test whether the usbstick is detected in there. Also not working. So this problem is not related to xfce. But what else!? CD's are working fine, so there can't be an issue with hal or dbus...

after removing /usr/share/hal/fdi /etc/hal and reinstalling hal it's working again.

I find that gparted places a 'disable automount' HAL policy in /usr/share/hal/fdi when it is started. If gparted does not close properly, then that file is left behind which disables the detection of new devices.

I read about this file in some other threads. But hal still didn't work correctly after deleting this file.

The file you mention is
rm /usr/share/hal/fdi/policy/gparted-disable-automount.fdi
Thank you very much for this tip!
