Automounting removable devices within kde4



With the following revisions of hal and PolicyKit automounting removable devices should work fine within kde4 (and probably gnome and suchlike): hal-0.5.11nb26 policykit-0.9nb6

The only additional change needed is to add the following to /usr/pkg/etc/PolicyKit/PolicyKit.conf inside the <config> block:
ÂÂÂÂÂÂÂ <match action="">ÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂ <return result="yes" />
ÂÂÂÂÂÂÂ </match>

With the above plugging in a USB flash drive into my amd64 laptop pops up a notification window, clicking on it opens dolphin, and clicking on the device in dolphin correctly mounted it.

If you want to be able to mount filesystems on fixed disks you also need to add:
ÂÂÂÂÂÂÂ <match action="">ÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂ <return result="yes" />
ÂÂÂÂÂÂÂ </match>

Should something like that be enabled by default?
