When I plug my USB cell phone into my laptop I get an icon on my xfce4 desktop which mounts the volume if I double-click it. The icon doesn't appear on another Gentoo laptop and I can't figure out why. I thought it was Thunar volume management, but that isn't installed on either system. Does anyone know what causes the icon to appear? I also don't have gnome-volume-manager installed.
It's XFCE that does this. But for it to work, it needs HAL and D-Bus. So make sure those also installed.
Furthermore, the device must *not* have an entry in /etc/fstab.
