OK, i undid everything i had been trying and decided to try this path. i recompiled xfce4-session with policykit, consolekit and gnome. i don't have a graphical login manager, i start X with startx from the console, and my .xinitrc is simply: exec ck-launch-session startxfce4 if i start X as root things work in a more or less satisfactory way: pen drives appear on the side bar on thunar and i can mount and eject them (not umount). but if i start X as a normal user, i get a "not authorized" message from thunar and i can't mount the devices. now, i belong to just about every group out there: root disk lp wheel audio cdrom video cdrw usb users lpadmin portage plugdev lj vboxusers scanner any ideas why i don't have permissions to mount the usb drives? (also, after doing these changes i can't shutdown or reboot form xfce) anyway, it seems i'm getting closer... a big thank you to all that have been following this thread, i hope i'll be able to resolve this last issue... best, lj
