There's some interaction with ConsoleKit to ensure that the removable
1;3406;0c storage is tied to a specific session so that the logged-in user can
actually modify their USB drive. Otherwise it's only accessible to
'root'.
So yes, something *else* (HAL, udisks, etc) actually handles the
mounting, but there's some other components involved in permissions and
mount location, and that's where ConsoleKit helps out.
But that's stuff that is hidden beneath udev/udisks not sure why a file
manager needs to know that...
