So far, her experience has been somewhat aggravating: [1] The combination of hald/dbus/policykit would work once or twice to automount a data CD or USB flash drive, but would soon stop, complaining about lack of permissions by the user, particularly when trying to unmount the device. [2] This model Toshiba has the (in)famous(?) keyboard bounce problem in X11. The Gnome Accessibility filter that handles bounced keys takes care of this when it is enabled. The trouble is that the accessibility settings just "go away" at random (while they never get (re)enabled by themselves). In the first case, we put together a simple work-around after turning off the services of hald & policykit, but requires a bit more user interaction in a terminal window to "eject" removeable devices. The second problem persists, and I have *no* idea what Gnome is doing behind-the-scenes during her Gnome session to disable her previously enable accessibility settings. If there's any particular debugging information that we can capture to help track down configuration issues for these two particular problems, that would be most helpful. -- Dr Gary E RAFE: drgerlists at gmail dot com
