Gnome 2.12 doesn't show icons of removable media on desktop
Hi,
I have a problem with the debian gnome installation and I don't know
which package to blame.
I came from sarge and updated the gnome packages (2.12) from testing.
After that I don't see any removable media devices on the desktop.
Nautlius won't create appropriate icons anymore.
I had the gnome-volume-manager running and after plugging in a USB
memory device, the volume manager mounted it under /media as usual. So
far so good. But no icon on the desktop.
I opened the "Computer" Icon and there it is: a memory device icon was
there, but a double click ends in the error message: "Device already
mounted". This is strange, because the gnome-volume-manager has mounted
the device and nautilus doesn't seem to know about that.
For the next test I removed the volume manager, so no one mounted
anything. I plugged in the USB device and an Icon appeared in
"Computer". Double Click -> error: Device already mounted. (???).
This time Nautilus itself seems to mount the device and doesn't
recognise it?. What's going up here?
Famd is running so gnome should be able to watch /media.
During all my tests I never got an device icon on the desktop. With the
initial sarge installation this worked fine. The kernel have not been
changed since then.
Any hints? Which package I should file a bug to? Nautilus? gnome-vfs?
fam? I don't know. How this mechanism works is no longer clear to me so
any tips, hints, clues are appreciated.
Best Regards
Matthias
