Description:

It's no longer possible to mount my USB stick and Kindle in Nautilus and Thunar. I get a "Not authorized" messages.

.xinitrc:
> [...]
> exec ck-launch-session dbus-launch --exit-with-session xmonad

polkit-gnome is installed but I don't know if it is started automatically or, if not, how I can start it. I can mount the devices with:

> sudo mount /dev/sdc1 kindle -o user

But it's all read-only. No idea why.

Steps to reproduce:
- Open either Nautilus or Thunar
- Plug in a USB device.
- Wait for the device to show up on the left side.
- Click on the icon.

What should happen:
- Device gets mounted.

What does happen:
- Popup dialog saying that it's impossible to mount. "Not authorized"
This task depends upon

Reason for closing:  Not a bug
Additional comments about closing:  polkit-gnome is not started, probably because xmonad doesn't process freedesktop autostart .desktop files. You should start polkit-gnome by hand, it is not activated by dbus.
