Ditto.
And Thanks to you, Matthias, too, for asking:
I had a similar problem not on Gnome (that I essentially have not
installed) but on KDE: Now, after upgrading to the latest udev/hal
packages from unstable everything seems fine again on KDE: For example
when I plug in a SCSI disk now via Firewire the disk appears as an
icon on the KDE desktop. Unmounted, as I need it, but mounting it on
KDE is nothing more than right-clicking the unmounted disk (icon) and
then choosing to mount it. Which was not possible, IIRC, before
upgrading hal/udev: no disk icons on the desktop at that time, so
without a chance to mount the device with a simple mouse click as an
underprivileged user.
[Note: I'm not sure whether it really was necessary to also upgrade
hal]

I didn't even need to upgrade my 2.6.14.1 kernel to fix this issue
... :) ... the joy of KDE? ... ;)
The new udev/hal versions:
ii udev 0.089-1
ii hal 0.5.7-1
[ ... more hal add-ons ... ]
Thanks again to everyone contributing.
