In my experience, KDE 3.4.3 is working with dbus and hal just fine and
I'm not using autofs. I was steered toward configuring the KDE
desktop, selecting Behavior, select the Device Icons tabs and select
Show Device Icons. The list will become available. Adjust to taste.
In /etc/fstab I do have an entry:
/dev/sda1 /mnt/sda1 vfat noauto,users,noexec,umask=000 0 0
with /mnt/sda1 directory available and my USB stick and camera will
mount there. When I plug either in, an icon appears on the KDE desktop
and I can click it to mount and open it in Konquerer, or right-click
it, mount it, and then navigate to /mnt/sda1 with Midnight Commander
and do what I need. So far, I haven't tried plugging both in at the
same time (something to play with!).
So far, I've not bothered with udev rules, but that might be a next
thing to play with.
