Yep. I have gvfs. After I installed it, Trash was enabled and the removable media show up on Thunar's side-pane.
There are many other gvfs modules available but I haven't installed any (I don't think they're needed on this case).
PolicyKit I have too and its authentication agent is running. And it works properly for apps that use it (like yumex).
Personally I'm fine with auto-mount not working. I can just click on thunar's side-pane and the removable media is mounted, then I can open any app that may need it.
But I may try eventually to remove ConsoleKit and LXDM (which requires ConsoleKit-libs and is what launches it). But that would be quite blind of my part as I don't understand it yet.
I definately wouldn't install GDM just for the sake of it as it pulls loads of uneeded GNOME stuff that don't actually add to anything useful (and the live-CD has it and thunar-volman's auto-mount doesn't seem to work there either).
