upgrade from 9.04 - 9.10: the most broken Ubuntu / Debian upgrade I have ever experienced

[Davyd McColl]

Thanks

Multiple replacements of
<allow_active>auth_admin_keep</allow_active>
with
<allow_active>yes</allow_active>

stops the prompt for authorisation. The prior file doesn't pass parsing
checks. Multiple replacements are required to handle multiple languages. I
don't know if this somehow breaks some kind of security model -- what I do
know is that I can mount my internal windows disks without authorisation.

Now if only I could find a handy fix for the artifact where nautilus / gvfs
isn't picking up newly-inserted removable media until I run palimpsest...
I'd about have my system back (:

There is no shame in not knowing; the shame is in not finding out.
