Bug#740246: nautilus: Stopped automounting media in /media/<username>

[Manuel Bilderbeek]

Package: nautilus
Version: 3.8.2-2
Followup-For: Bug #740246

Some extra observations:
- the USB stick does appear in the "Devices" section in the Nautilus
  side bar (used to be in Places). When I click it there, it *does*
  get mounted in /media/<username>, but I do not get a pop-up when
  inserting the USB stick into the computer (notifications *are* enabled)
- the USB stick is also shown in the Disks application
- The Edit Mount Options menu shows "Automatic Mount Options" to be "ON"
- My external USB hard disk (which also refused to be mounted lately),
  now suddenly does get mounted and also shows the pop-up

Ah! I tried the USB stick in another USB port: now I do get the pop-up
and it gets auto-mounted...!

But why isn't it auto-mounting from the other USB port??
