[Thunar-dev] Xfce 4.4 and Thunar automounting on FreeBSD

Hello! I have posted this in the FreeBSD lists without success, so I
thought I would try here. Forgive me if this is not the right place
and let me know if I should post on another Xfce or Thunar list.
I have FreeBSD 6.2 installed and running wonderfully. I have built
Xfce 4.4 from ports and it too, is working very well, but I have one
problem -- the new Thunar file manager does not auto-mount.
I have installed Hal, Dbus, and polkit and have those 3 things enabled
in my /etc/rc.conf. I also installed thunar and the thunar-volman
plugin. However, when I go to the "Advanced" tab in the File Manager
settings manager in order to activate the auto-mounting, it states
"Build thunar-vfs with HAL support to use the volume management
support in Thunar." When I built Thunar I did enable Hal support, and
I can't find anything in ports or packages about thunar-vfs.
I can manually mount a usb stick as my normal user without issues.
It's just the automount feature in Thunar that is not working.
If anyone has a fix or other suggestions on how to get this working on
FreeBSD I would be most appreciative.
Thanks,
Chess Griffin
