I have gnome-volume-manager-1.1.3-3 if that's what you are referring it.
Is the rawhide the one I get if I use yum with the development repository
enabled?

Hehe.  :o)  Mind you, if the packages therein are undergoing much change
and are susceptible to many problems, someone might go aheand and call it
a rawride anyway...  ;-)

dbus-0.31-2
gamin-0.0.25-4

I'm going to run yum to update them, though.  Looks like it wants to
update dbus and gamin.

Woo, just looked at the info on gamin.  I hope it's better than fam.  I
hate it when asdfi have to killall fam to umount a CD or memory card under
FC1.

Yes.  The problem only occurs if automount is turned on inside Removable
Drives and Media Preferences, and only (so far) for cards inserted into
the card reader.  USB thumb drives and CDs work fine.

Interesting to note that although mentally I think of the card in the card
reader as removable media, it is automounted when "Mount removable drives
when hot-plugged" is on but "Mount removable media when inserted" is off,
indicating that gnome-volume-manager treats the card as a hot-plug
drive...  Something I'll just have to get usd to, I guess.  :o)

Manual mounting (via mount command, mount panel object, nautilus, etc) all
work fine when no automounting via gnome-volume-manager happening.

Woo, I didn't know that happened.  Very nice!

That is indeed the case.
