I'm resending this, as I got no answers:
I've just installed 9.3 on my wife's laptop. With 9.2, when she inserted her usb-stick, it was mounted

With 9.3, it does not work any more.
What happens when you insert the usb-stick? Does it mount at /media/??? like it should? What do you see in /var/log/messages? Is it the standard FAT filesystem? How about -- as root -- lsusb?

mount /dev/sda1 -t vfat /media/usbkey works, but this procedure is
not really practical.
How can I revert to the 9.2 type functionality?
I've added /dev/sda1 vfat /media/usbkey -noauto to fstab, and now inserting the key opens a konqueror window, but the key is not mounted. I have to do it manually from konsole.
any ideas to fully automate the process?
thanks
