I have a client who has a Toshiba notebook running
6.2-R and Gnome 2.16.1_2 from packages.

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.
