your description made me suspicious and I spent several hours 
debugging the code.
I hope I fixed both yout and my issues.

I ound an additional issue: if a volume is mounted *before* starting 
GWorkspace it would not get recognized.

If you like, try the attached patch.
I simplified the code and hopefully fixed it. It relied on wrong 
assumptions, I guess. I did not try it with multipme volumes (e.g, 
cdrom, usb key, floppy..... multiple USB disks) because I just had one 
USB device with me on travel currently.

However, with this code I can mound/unomount from the command line and 
see the device appear/disappear.
Parallely, even i the desktop is not showing and a volume gets touched 
or mounted before GWorkspace it works.

If you want to test before me committing it, go! I did try mounting on 
FreeBSD and not ubuntu and my SystemPreferences is setup fine to mount 
automatically, for your information.
