hal+dbus: automount work only after x server restart

ReDirEct__

Hi all... i've installed hal, dbus, pmount and gnome-volume-manager... the problem is that all drivers is mounted correctly at boot but if i try to unmount, for exemple, my usb key and unplug it, then, when i connect another time, only appears the usb key icon's in computer:/// (with no icon on my desktop) and i must double click on the device icon to mount it. If i restart X all work well...
How can i fix this? It's a bug?

Ps:sorry for my english... i'm italian

I'm not quite sure about your problem. If I were you I would remerge hal, dbus, pmount and gnome-volume-manager again. Maybe you'll find this link usefull http://www.gentoo.ro/proj/en/desktop/gnome/howtos/gnome-2.12-upgrade.xml

Also, run

i emerged these packages many times but nothing happen... i read also that page and I haven't solved my problem... in any way the problem is that if i restart X after the boot, automount work well. But if I try to plug an usb key or a cdrom after the boot, without restarting X, on my desktop don't appears the usb key, and i must mount it by double clicking the icon that appears in computer after i plugged in my key...
becouse of my english is too bad i post some screen shoot:

after boot without restarting X, my "Creative MuVo Tx" is in computer:/// but not on desktop:
Screenshot 1

after double click it in computer:///:
Screenshot 2

If i restart X when i plug in my Muvo tx all work well: the icon appear on my desktop and nautilus automatically open the device directory (all like second screenshot).

I have the same problem with g-v-m 1.5.4... I tried to upgrade to 1.5.15 (which no more uses pmount, but another program called gnome-mount) and it works perfectly. I think it's a bug.
Bye
