I believe current pmount spell will be break (0.8) but the last version  
(0.9+) will be fine with hal 0.5. :-) I will update it as soon at it is  
in test.

About that, totem should be updated too, I don't know if you planned it  
Arwed ? I also updated Rhythmbox to 0.9 in devel, you can then  
integrate it in test as soon as totem 1.2.0 update is done (totem is  
now required for rhythmbox)

Gnome-volume-manager in 2.10 used to not work well (no automount,  
digital camera detection doesn't work), I don't know if you worked on  
the new one, Robin ? I already look at it with 1.2.2 in august (enabled  
some options in hal, dbus, etc...), I got automount working using  
fstab-sync, but I failed on digital cameras. Since there are major  
changes in the new version, I prefered to wait this release. Pmount can  
be used instead as fstab-sync afaik. Anyway, this should not delay the  
gnome 2.12 update if you didn't get it but know that I can take care of  
that this week-end if you don't have the time to work on that.

In the same time, I noticed that we can launch gnome via dbus-launch. I  
did that to try rhythmbox with dbus support and I also suspect this is  
needed to get gvm working. Here is the patch :

Don't you think it should be good to add it ? Of course that will  
launch all WM sessions, not only gnome, with dbus-launch, so do you  
know if that might hurt with some WM ?

Anyway, please release Gnome 2.12 soon, I can't wait any longer !!! ;-)
