[gentoo-user] Where is my automounting coming from?

[Grant]

When I plug my USB cell phone into my laptop I get an icon on my xfce4
desktop which mounts the volume if I double-click it.  The icon
doesn't appear on another Gentoo laptop and I can't figure out why.  I
thought it was Thunar volume management, but that isn't installed on
either system.  Does anyone know what causes the icon to appear?  I
also don't have gnome-volume-manager installed.

It's XFCE that does this.  But for it to work, it needs HAL and D-Bus. 
So make sure those also installed.

Furthermore, the device must *not* have an entry in /etc/fstab.

Thanks Nikos, I'll add those USE flags and start the init scripts.

Since when? I have entries for all my USB sticks in my /etc/fstab and it 
works fine.
