everyone who has upgraded today. I have marked it as Importance: High to
get this looked at immediately.

   Importance: Undecided => High

** Description changed:

- In latest Oneiric Ocelot, gnome is unable to mount usb sticks anymore.
- Gives 'Not Authorized' error.
+ Oneiric Ocelot with latest update. Nautilus, Disk Utility are unable to
+ mount USB sticks anymore. Gives 'Not Authorized' error.
  
- Maybe has to do with the way lightdm opens the session ??
