At a glance: line 327 of udev.rules was changed from:

BUS=="ide", DRIVER!="ide-cdrom", SYSFS{removable}="1", GOTO="persistent_end"

to:

BUS=="block", DRIVER!="ide-cdrom", SYSFS{removable}="1", GOTO="persistent_end"
which, as far as I understand, refers to all removable block devices.The effect of this is that any USB device plugged in is passed down to HAL without any partition information at all, thus preventing user-space applications like ivman and KDE mediamanager from mounting the devices. It should be noted that all devices nodes are created correctly (including those of the partitions), it's just that HAL doesn't know anything about partitions. Reverting the change seems to resolve the issue, but I'm not sure it doesn't break anything else.
This task depends upon

sorry i can't confirm this bug here mounting works quite nice in kde.
this rule is only a filter for the persistent stuff, if it does apply it doesn'T run the persistent part, more it is not doing.
