How is this configuration done?  And does it have effect after the
system boots but before the desktop is started?  gnome-volume-properties
indicates that the system should "Mount removable drives when hot
plugged." and under KDE the "Properties" popup for the drive indicates
"Mount automatically".  But the drive is not mounted till I click
"Mount" in the popup for the drive.  I suspect that part of the problem
is that the drive is already plugged into the system when it starts.
