automatic mount of usb-device

Hi,

when I installed Warty on my machine the usb support didn't work 
correctly. There was no /dev/sde1 and so I weren't able to mount my usb 
stick. After I searched the web I found a hint that this could be caused 
by the kernel that Warty installs by default. So I took a 2.6.10 kernel 
package that I compiled with Sarge. After I did this I were able to 
mount my usb stick manually.

But it would be nice if my usb device could be mounted automatically 
like my CDs. If I insert a CD it's automatically mounted, a window opens 
and an icon appears on the desktop. That's a really nice feature. Does 
this work with usb devices, too? How can I modify my system to get this 
work? Have I configure the kernel in a special way? Or are there other 
kernel images avialable that I could use instead of the default 
2.6.8.1kernel that I could try out?

Thanks & Cheers,

Jochen
