I have checked dmesg for identification of my media, and there is no
problem with that. However, nothing gets mounted without being done so
manually. Previously, I'd get a dialog asking for an action, for my
ipod, camera, usb sticks etc. To answer your question therefore, it is
the second part I'd like back.

Everything is checked.

Here is what I got after plugging in my usb stick :
Start monitoring devicelist:
