KDE USB key drive problem in SuSE 10.1

I have just upgraded to SuSE 10.1 (a clean new install on a machine that had been running 9.3), and my key drives no longer automount. From goggling around, I know that SuSE dropped submount and subfs in 10.1, and there has been much complaining from those who do not run KDE or Gnome. But I am using KDE, and from what I gather, there should be an automount system. CDs and DVDs do automount, but not USB keys. Am I missing something here, or are key drives not supported in 10.1? Those not using KDE or Gnome have been advised to use ivman and put an entry into their fstab for each key. I would rather not have to do that.... Any suggestions? -- John Quentin Heywood heywood@american.edu
