This worked after I originally installed Fedora 11: If I plugged in a USB
stick or inserted a CD/DVD ROM, the new device notifier would inform me, and
allow me to open in Dolphin (as well as other choices). If I selected the
"Open in Dolphin", it would do just that.
As of recently, when I try to open, a dialog pops up asking for root password.
Same when I select "Safely remove". If I enter the password, things proceed
as desired.
This behavior appears to shown up about the time I had sound permission
problems. Resolved the sound problem by modifying
security/console.perms.d/50-default.perms to add:
<sound>=/dev/snd/*
<console> 0600 <sound> 0600 root
These same two behaviors (sound and mount) showed up for me mid-life in
Fedora-8 too. The same fix resolved the sound problems then, and I lived with
entering the root password for USB devices until I finally upgraded to F11. It
was joy when device mounting worked again, however short lived.
Any thoughts on this?

Looks like ConsoleKit is not working for you. How are you logging in? GDM?
KDM? Text mode?
