I just posted my experiences with the upgrade to gnome 2.22 and
mentioned this trick:

 : My usb memory stick to automount would not automagically mount, even
 : though I'm in the operator group.  Some googling suggested that I
 : should add:
 :   <match action="org.freedesktop.halstorage.mount-removable">
 :    <return result="yes">
 :   </match>
 : to /usr/local/etc/PolicyKit/PolicyKit.conf.  Now my memory stick
 : mounts automagically.  Is this normally required?  Did I miss it in
 : the freebsd gnome FAQ or should it be added?

I don't know if it should have been necessary, but it seems to have
helped.
