We normally run in runlevel 3 and when we do use X, we usually use fvwm(rather than gnome or kde).
Against what system part do I file a bug in bugzilla regarding thecondition that an inserted USB drive will be auto-mounted in /media whenusing the gnome window manager, but not in fvwm or when X isn't started.Presumably, by inserting the USB drive I want the device mounted, so whyis (I presume hal) just sending an event notification on the dbus ratherthan completing the task itself?
