That's not the issue. I want to know how are those parameters determined for a 
hotpluggable device, *before* it is actually mounted. This is related to the 
fact that my usb flash memory does not get mounted automatically while I'm in 
runlevel 3, so there is nothing related in /etc/mtab. Since the kernel does 
detect the device and I can mount it manually, I suspect that whatever is 
determining the parameters for automounting does that wrong, and as a result 
the device does not get automounted.

FWIW, everything works perfectly when Gnome is up, even KDE, but *not* without 
them.

Best, :-)
