Unable to mount as a user. Unable to automount.

Tried option 1 only then option 2 only no change. GDM3 was already
installed and that solves the xdm logout problem.

thunar-volman is automatically installed.

Having done all that, I installed  the stable (squeeze) version on the
second half (unused) of my hard disk. Everything worked fine, and I did
a force-upgrade to testing. The only problem was that I had to delete
openoffice and install libreoffice.

Everything works fine which suggests that my problem is with the
installer program. I sent in an installation report and a bug has been
filed: #646550

Thanks for your time, 


John.
