If I start my gnome session with startx, automounting doesn't work. If instead I run gdm and start my session with it, automounting works great. In the startx session, a dialog appears when mounting is attempted that says "Unable to mount (whatever) Not Authorized." I can still mount the disk with gnome-mount. I see this with gnome-2.28, but apparently its a problem with gnome-2.30 as well. There is a workaround posted at http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-833907-start-0.html which is to add these two lines: export XDG_MENU_PREFIX=gnome- exec ck-launch-session gnome-session to .xinitrc that does solve this problem for me, but it seems that ck-launch-session should be used to start the session from within /etc/X11/Sessions/Gnome (maybe after checking if consolekit is running?)
