Ditto. And Thanks to you, Matthias, too, for asking: I had a similar problem not on Gnome (that I essentially have not installed) but on KDE: Now, after upgrading to the latest udev/hal packages from unstable everything seems fine again on KDE: For example when I plug in a SCSI disk now via Firewire the disk appears as an icon on the KDE desktop. Unmounted, as I need it, but mounting it on KDE is nothing more than right-clicking the unmounted disk (icon) and then choosing to mount it. Which was not possible, IIRC, before upgrading hal/udev: no disk icons on the desktop at that time, so without a chance to mount the device with a simple mouse click as an underprivileged user.
