[edgy-regression] drivemount applet (Disk Mounter) completely blank

Thanks for your bug. What sort of drives were listed before? Are they still listed by the places menu from the panel and the computer place? That applet works fine for me

CD drives were listed but only if a disk was inserted, also USB disks, and IIRC floppy drives were listed if they were in the fstab. Basically any removable disk. These are all displayed just fine in the Places menu and in computer:///.

Thank you for taking me seriously and testing it. I'll try to figure out why it isn't working on my machine and also see if it's broken on my other machines.

I don't have any removable disks in my fstab but inserting a cdrom always made the applet display a cd drive anyway.

I wish this applet had one of those grippy handles so that I could see where it is when it's not displaying anything. In fact I think there's a bug open somewhere else on that.

Just to satisfy my curiosity I logged-in as a different user. The applet worked fine. So I deleted my .directories and logged back in and it works fine now. I don't have the motivation to fix this now that it's gone so I'm rejecting this bug.

Thanks again for your time Sebastien.

There is bug #17626 about the behaviour when no drive are listed. What .directories do you delete (assuming that .directories mean "directories" and is not the name of a directory)? Feel free to reopen the bug if you still have the datas and want to debug it. Otherwise let's keep the bug as closed since it's fixed for you know

I have the same issue, where in Dapper it was even in the menus. After updating, or from a fresh install (I tried both) that menu item has been remove and when trying to install the gnome applet in the panel, nothing appears at all.

Also available to do some testing (my laptop is a Thinkpad T60 with CD drive but I noticed the same on a Toshiba r100).
