[Sussex] gnome-volume-manager and ubuntu

[Rupert Swarbrick]

This is for anyone out there that understands the ubuntu/debian
dependencies system:

I currently don't have gnome-volume-manager installed and, this being my
laptop, I would like to have it autodetect flash sticks / cdroms when I
insert them.

So I open up synaptic and try gnome-volume-manager.

But that depends on hal and dbus-1 (and others)

However I have libdbus-1-1 installed, which conflicts with dbus-1 and
doesn't appear to provide whatever gnome-volume-manager wants.

Were I to swap to dbus-1, half of my gnome apps would have to be
uninstalled, according to synaptic. Given I have a cap on my connection,
I'm not too keen on the idea, as some of the apps aren't still in my
apt-cache.

Is there something else I should do instead?
