KDED Media Manager is now starting on its own at boot and the USB icon 
is showing on the desktop after checking to show device icons in 
kcontrol, I still get 'permissions denied' when I try to mount it or 
open in filemanager. Note, in my trinity install on the ubuntu 10.04, 
when I plug in a USB drive on the pop-up I choose to open in filemanager 
I get 'permissions denied', but, I'm able to mount it by clicking on the 
desktop icon, again in the Lenny install I'm not able to mount the USB 
drive by clicking on the device icon or open in the filemanager, I get 
'permissions denied' for both actions.
