I recently installed NsCDE [1] and it's mostly self-explanatory. I use thunar and i missed seeing removable media automatically appear in the file manager. This feature depends on gvfs, which depends on a dbus session. To restore this functionality, i used the solution shown below [2] and edited /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc.NsCDE as shown below [3]. Then i logged out and logged back in.

Thought this was a question at first. I run a lightwieght GUI on most of my systems, with Thunar as the go-to FM, and I too have missed the auto-mount shortcuts and even resort to Nautilus because of it.

Now that I'm aware of a way to bring that functionality back, I'm probably going to. Thanks for the heads-up and mini-tutorial!

HI, i sent an update to version 2.2.
