automount

[Illés János]

Thunar detects evertyhing well with and without the
gnome-volume-manager, the removable things show up in the right pane,
but they are not mounted automatically if the gnome-volume-manager is
not running. This is true to the desktop as well after I hit F5.

What i want is a way to mount/umount removable media without starting
a plus application (in this case this is thunar) and now this works
from the desktop after pressing F5.
Thanks.

ps.: CD/DVD-s work the same way.
