Also make sure hald is started, and also take a look at various documentations for auto-mounting. Since this is a problem with your system and not something wrong with kde3, i'll have to close this.

Inserting a flash drive in a USB socket causes /dev/sdb1 to be mounted as /media/sdb1. When selecting 'Safely remove' on the icon on the kde desktop a dialog appears stating that hal cannot unmount the drive because there is no corresponding entry in /media/.hal-mtab. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.Insert flash drive in USB socket 2.Open drive by clicking on icon on desktop 3.Close window that opens 4.Select 'Safely remove' - dialog appears with error message. The only way to unmount the drive is to revert to the commandline and type 'umount /media/sdb1'. Expected Results: Firstly a dialog should have appeared when the flash drive was inserted asking what to do with the mounted directory ('Do nothing'/'open folder'/....). Secondly the drive should be safely unmounted when 'Safely remove' was selected instead of having to revert to the command line. I found a solution that works. I have kde 3.5 installed but also openoffice etc. Also the 'hal' USE flag is set in /etc/make.conf. This causes gnome-vfs to be compiled with the 'hal' USE flag which in turn emerges gnome-mount. Googling reveals that on other distros gnome-mount seems to misbehave when unmounting USB drives (distros mentioned are Ubuntu,Arch...). I added the line 'gnome-base/gnome-vfs -hal' to /etc/portage/package.use, re-emerged update and depclean (which removed gnome-mount) and now all is well. Plugging the USB drive mounts the drive and prompts with the correct dialog window, clicking 'Safely Remove' works correctly.
