Automounting encrypted flash drives in Gnome+xmonad

[Caleb]

HI sktsee,

Thanks for the reply! I tried "nautilus -n" and got the following results:

caleb at storm:~$ nautilus -n

** (nautilus:6264): WARNING **: Couldn't connect to accessibility bus:
Failed to connect to socket /tmp/dbus-qgjeqdNTwQ: Connection refused
caleb at storm:~$ ps auxw | grep nautilus
caleb     5047  0.0  1.0 1656904 82036 ?       Sl   09:59   0:01 nautilus -n
caleb     6270  0.0  0.0  11744   920 pts/6    S+   10:35   0:00 grep
nautilus
caleb at storm:~$

I'm assuming the warning about the accessibility bus can be safely ignored.
The USB drive is still not automounted, however. Any other ideas?

Thanks,
-Caleb
