Yes, it worked for me in Gnome too (after a few updates of udev).  But
I'm trying kde for a bit.

I still get nothing happening when I insert removable media.

I have dbus and hal installed and started.  I have kdebase installed, so
kioslaves is already part of it.

I still get the message "no support for HAL on this system" in the
peripherals > storage media setup.

any more ideas?

many thanks,
