I reinstalled the "udev" and "hal" packages and I have the "fam" package:
ii  fam            2.7.0-6        File Alteration Monitor

It doesn't change anything, the icons still don't appear :-(

Also,
ls -l /etc/udev/rules.d
total 1,0K
lrwxrwxrwx  1 root root  19 2004-12-28 17:02 cd-aliases.rules -> 
../cd-aliases.rules
-rw-r--r--  1 root root 843 2004-12-26 00:14 gyp_udev.rules
lrwxrwxrwx  1 root root  13 2004-12-28 17:02 udev.rules -> ../udev.rules
lrwxrwxrwx  1 root root  12 2004-12-28 17:02 z_hal-plugdev.rules -> 
../hal.rules

But now I manage to get automatically an icon for my camera and stick 
when I start an Xsession as root! :-) So I guess I have a problem of 
groups or permission.

Any ideas of what I can further check?

Now I will make a detail comparison of the logs when I am root or not.

Thank you,
Nico
