I have a sort-of answer. By adding usbfs /proc/bus/usb usbfs noauto 0 0 to /etc/fstab I now have a condition where, on inserting a USB stick, the KDE New Device Notifier widget pops up and tells me I have a new device. However it isn't mounted. If I click on the device in the notifier pop-up, I then get a Dolphin window that opens on the device, which is now mounted under /media. I'm not happy about this on a number of counts. 1. I'm having to do the mount. OK, its a click-on rather than a command line, but that is not good. If there is some other process waiting for the USB device its not going to see it just because its there. 2. It opens in Dolphin. I want Konqueror. 3. Each one opens a new instance of Dolphin rather than a new tab in the already open instance. I don't know what to do about any of these. I'm seeing occasional mention on the Web of "PolicyKit" controlling things, but haven't a clue and don't see anything relevant here.
