Has some opened bugs, upstream looks dead and is no longer developed. I am examining fedora packages to see how they dropped it even suppling old packages like gnomevfs Reproducible: Always
Packages still depending on gnome-mount: gnome-base/gnome-vfs: see bug 349015 rox-base/devtray: looks like it can work with sys-apps/pmount also, then, probably dropping gnome-mount wouldn't be so difficult in this case. x11-libs/libfm: gnome? ( hal? ( gnome-base/gnome-mount ) ) x11-misc/pcmanfm: the same as libfm since that deps where moved to libfm in masked packages. Looks like fedora and opensuse are not depending on gnome-mount anyway, but I would like to here its maintainers opinion first. Thanks
devtray, bug 313431, now masked.
!!! All ebuilds that could satisfy "gnome-mount" have been masked. !!! One of the following masked packages is required to complete your request: - gnome-base/gnome-mount-0.8-r2::gentoo (masked by: package.mask) /home/ssuominen/gentoo-x86/profiles/package.mask: # Samuli Suominen <ssuominen@gentoo.org> (26 Dec 2010) # Replaced by (and for example) gvfs-mount (gnome-base/gvfs) and # udisks --mount (sys-fs/udisks). # Removal in 30 days. Bug 349012.
Per the deprecation messages about gnome-mount and policykit, I've removed those packages, with the result I expected: auto-mounting of USB sticks is broken again. I still have consolekit and polkit installed, as those seem to be the latest incarnation of WTF-do-we-do-now. Per a suggestion in another bugreport, I now have "ck-launch-session gnome-session" in my .xinitrc. The immediate problem is that ck-list-sessions still shows all sessions as not active and not local, so any attempt to use udisks --mount or gvfs-mount fail with insufficient-privilege errors. If I login from a pseudo-terminal, however, I can mount a USB stick as an ordinary user -- because my ck-session is then both local and active. Does anyone else share my impression that existing solutions are being abandoned before any better solutions exist? Feels like Washington DC is making all the decisions at gnome.org and freedesktop.org.

You said it youself. Your local ConsoleKit problems are unrelated to this bug. If you need assistance, try the Gentoo forums, http://forums.gentoo.org/

unmasked and KEYWORDS dropped to ~x86-fbsd instead, closing as LATER for now

you get a dialog that gnome-mount is not installed... check gvfs code
hal and gnome-mount are gone.
