Automount in Gnome

I have a question and a problem here with the automounting of drives
and media in Gnome.  Let me try and sort out what I know here.  On my
normal user account, when I plug in a USB drive of any kind, the
automount feature of gnome doesn't take hold.  HAL discovers it ok and
even will build the sym links in /dev/disk/by-label but gnome won't
pick this up and make it available.  All the volume and removable
device options are set properly.

Now I just tried logging into gnome this morning from my root account
and there, the device automounted and everything seemed to work
great.  I guess there is a difference between my normal user's
settings and root's.  Where can I find the settings in conf files or
whatever to possibly fix this automount problem?

I'm running 2.6.30 kernel on an Arch Linux system with latest updates
which includes Gnome 2.26 right now.

Any help or ideas?
