It seems that for Xfce you want the Thunar Volume Manager plugin (xfce-extra/thunar-volman): http://goodies.xfce.org/projects/thunar-plugins/thunar-volman Otherwise, I know of three modern (i.e. udev or udisks based) desktop independent ways for auto-mounting: - uam A udev based auto-mounter. It doesn't mount CD/DVD/etc. drives (because, = well, it's udev-based), but otherwise worked flawlessly on my machine. - udiskie A udisks based auto-mounter, doesn't work properly for me, i.e. one of my USB sticks wouldn't mount, apparently because udisks flagged it as non-automountable. - udisks-glue A udisks based tool that can execute arbitrary commands on udisks events,= e.g. auto-mount disks. (My personal preference is currently udisks-glue.)
