mounting removable media never seems to work

[Florin Andrei]

Mounting USB sticks, DVDs, CDs, etc - this works flawlessly with other 
distributions I've tried (Ubuntu), but with Fedora it's something that 
seems to stop working randomly, whenever the packages update to jour 
changes something in the system.

I've a F7 system, fully updated, and now when I insert a USB stick, I 
get the HAL error "permission denied: not in active session".

This is annoying because it's something that's supposed to just work. It 
does work in Ubuntu. Heck, it works fine in XP. But not in Fedora. 
Moreover, it's not a new thing. Previous releases of Fedora used to 
display this same problem, which never seems to be solved completely.

It's like "removable media? who cares whether it works properly or not?" 
Come one, people, wake up.
