hald not running..even in fc4.. is a problem that will result in a
number of weird symptoms. Unfortunately "most likely" doesn't help
narrow the underlying problem down, i was hoping for confirmation
while you were experiencing the problem.

I wasn't asking for a grep.. because the grep won't extract all the
information in the "block" of output that covers all the properties. I
specifically ask for a "block" oufput and I tried to define what the
beginning and end of the block looks like. Unfortunately you didn't
seem to understand what I was asking for.

gnome-mount isnt crashing for me... and I don't see any bugreports
about gnome-mount crashing so far reported in bugzilla by anyone.  If
this is a common occurance, and its a real bug, someone from those
"news groups" needs to actually file a bug report if they want the
crashing fixed.  People can discuss crasher issues in forums and
newsgroups and mailinglists forever.. but if its not filed in
bugzilla..you can never be sure the developers who need to be aware of
it will know about it.
