User problem with automounting of camera in KDE

[Tim Wunder]

Using FC5 and KDE 3.5.4 (from kde-redhat) in a multi-user environment (me, my 
wife, and my son). 

When I plug our camera into the USB port, I get a dialog asking me what to do 
with the newly found device, regardless of the number of other users logged 
in, or the order in which we log in. I can open it in a new window, and have 
access to the pictures through media:/camera. 

However, my wife's user code does not get this dialog. When she plugs the 
camera in, she always gets this error mesage: "Cannot find parent item 
media:/ in the tree. Internal error."
If no one else is logged in, or if she was the first to log in, the camera 
will get mounted and Konqueror's file manager will open media:/camera and 
she'll have access to the pictures despite the error message. If she plugs 
the camera in and another user is logged into the system before her, she just 
gets the error message and cannot access the pictures in the camera. 
(media:/camera opens in konqueror to a blank page).

This doesn't seem to be a console.perms problem as I have the following 
in /etc/security/console.perms.d/50-default.perms:
<console>  0666 <camera>     0660 root.users

When I plug in the camera and get the dialog, there's a checkbox to always do 
this with that kind of device (I forget the specific text as I'm not local to 
the box right now). I'm guessing that she's checked that, and there's 
something borken in the way it's handling things now. 

If that's the case, then something in ~/.kde is causing the problem. But 
what ? Ideas?

Thanks, 
Tim
