I've seen John's messages. My current understating of the problem now follows:
- Newer Debian machines have udisks2 and not udisks. It seems udisks2 sucks [1] and is not doing its job like it should. - Udisks and udisks2 are incompatible but we can install both on the same machine. Installing udisks and starting its daemon solves the problem - media is correctly recognized and devices such as /dev/sdb1 are created for sdcards. However, udisks daemon is not started automatically. I have to start it using "udisks --enumerate" on a command line. After that, both Gnome and XFCE work as I expect them to. Now, I'm trying to figure out how to have the udisks daemon started automatically...
