[Thunar-dev] Thunar + Hal

[Rodrigo Coacci]

Well first I have to say thanks for the config summary after ./configure,
it's very useful for us testers, so we can easily know if something is
missing or not.
Thunar+hal worked for me too (Arch linux system running gnome), but with
some caveats. When I inserted a CD it showed up (with label!) on side panel,
but:

* When I asked it to mount it told me "Failed to determine the mount point
for /dev/hdd." but when I double clicked the icon it correctly entered my cd
mounting dir (as configured in fstab), with the cd mounted;

* After, when I tryed to eject it, again error: "eject: unable to open
`/dev/hdd'."
But Thunar seems to umount the CD anyway (although not ejected it).

So aparently Thunar is sending the commands to HAL but seems to have a odd
answer from it. Could it be that Gnome (and it's volume manager) are messing
all up?
