I have kde-3.5.1.  What version of hal / dbus does it require?

Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't the combined idea of hal, dbus, udev
and "auto mounting" that you don't need entries in fstab?  Of course, I
have an entry for my dvd+rw, but not for every memory stick, external
hd, etc that I may plug in, in the future.

I've just stumbled across the gentoo forums "howto automount with kde".
I didn't see that before, so I'll try it and see.
