HELP! consolekit/dbus/udev/hal/...?

[Guayasil]

The problem is quite strange:
I'm using Gentoo as an XFCE workstation on all my (three) notebooks, the configuration of all of them is almost the same and no problems occur. I was requested to upgrade other GNOME+XFCE Gentoo workstation. I set the same use flags (global and local ones), the same keywords and installed similar packages. I did 'emerge -pvDuN world'. Then necessary adjustments. Then 'etc-update'. Then 'revdep-rebuild'. Then 'emerge -e system' and 'emerge -e world'. NO PROBLEMS during the whole process. The same services. The same groups. The station should work the same as my notebooks. It is not. Both desktop environments don't work as expected There are two problems:

1. (a minor one): I don't need: "cat 'exec ck-launch-session startxfce4' > ~/.xinitrc" on my notebooks. On this 'faulty' one: GNOME doesn't require it while XFCE without it disables most log-off options. I'm trying to trace the difference. I found nothing

2. (a major one): When I plug my USB pendrive both XFCE and GNOME completely ignore it (in fact they ignore all other partitions on all disks). According to logs everything is OK. I can mount it manually. Packages seem to be the same. May I ask for any tips how to trace what may be wrong? Any logs and files on request.


Oups! There is one big difference:
I compile the kernels for my notebooks manually, while for that workstation it is partially genkernelled...

Does 'mounting manually' refers to 'using 'udisks --mount'', cause that plain 'mount' works
says only that the kernel sees the device.

Finally found it! Of course on this Forum (https://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-858965.html):
