lated events and responds with a user-specified policy. You can use the GNOME Volume

automatically run programs, automatically play audio CDs and video DVDs, and auto-
matically import photos from a digital camera.
GNOME Volume Manager is started automatically. To disable GNOME Volume
Manager, add X-Autostart-enabled=false to the /opt/gnome/share/

gconf-editor, then click Run. GNOME Volume Manager is located under
/desktop/gnome/volume_manager.
