AFAIK this seems to be OK. There were problems with various versions of
udev, & gvm, but you seem to have avoided those...
Read here for some more info if you're feeling adventurous:

Of course! well spotted Andrew! you need to start gvm - run
`gnome-volume-manager &` from a terminal, then logout and back in again,
and see if it works.
After that, you could try the preferences for gvm, (in preferences >
removable drives and media) and make sure automounting and such is
checked.
If that _still_ fails, then gnome 2.14 would be looking tempting to me -
but you may not want to go that way...
HTH!
