DVD-drive doesn't automount in gnome

If I put a disc into my DVD-r under Ubunutu, Gnome mounts it automatically.  What do I need to enable under Arch for this behavior?

Re: DVD-drive doesn't automount in gnome

Thanks for the link... I actually have hal up and running and am a member of the dbus group as per the beginner's guide page on the wiki.  Is there a conf line I need to enable?  The DVD is a movie... do I need to install some css package to enable playback?  I would think that gnome could still mount it with or without the css package though, no?

The solution to this:

# pacman -S libdvdcss

Now all is well
