Iinitial automounting by lenny/kde very slow after each X/kde-session start.
Hello debian-kde list,
This problem occurs since a few months with KDE, but NOT with GNOME.
The system is debian/lenny on a dual core Intel PC where we normally use KDE.
Inserting a usbstick for the FIRST TIME after logging in to KDE via kdm or gdm results
in a delay of about TEN minutes before the kde-mount-screen appears!
Then everything works OK. All next inserts work normal.
The devices are always directly created upon insertion (here /dev/sdb1),
and pmount can be used directly. There never is any warning or error to be found.
Please find below some debugging information, where the most informative is that the
10 minute delay seems to start AFTER a "hal-probe-storage", see hald logging info below.
Can anyone point me in a direction? I would be most grateful.
I already tried the debian-user list, but to no avail.
Here OUTPUT from hald from /var/log/daemon.log:

Can anyone point me in the right direction?
Again note that there NEVER is any warning or error to be found.
How could the 10 minute delay be triggered?
Is it an udev-rule problem?
(at some point I had package dmsetup (devicemapper setup) installed and after
fiddling with its udev-rules it seemed to work (once).
Now dmsetup is not installed anymore)
Thanks in advance.
