None.  I use plane console, or X+fluxbox, nothing more, :).

Just udev, nothing more.  I was thinking on adding usbmount, although
if udev is in charge of the getting the devices, I really didn't see
the need for usbmount (I mount the device manually after connected,
and after seeing the dev's mapped if under the console).  I might
consider using usbmount later, :).
