I needed to reboot and now auto-mount and media:/ work correctly again for 
normal user.

root - Konqueror, throws errors:

media:/

The TDE mediamanager is not running.

During the previous startup, KNotify crashed while instantiating KNotify. Do 
you want to try again or disable aRts sound output?
If you choose to disable aRts output now, you can re-enable it later or select 
an alternate sound player in the System Notifications control panel.
