I have found that each desktop uses its own method of automounting.
PCManFM may have the mounting code built-in. Or it may use udiskie.
Check PCManFM's dependencies and see if udiskie is listed. Did you
install udiskie yourself? If not, then some other app did and it's
probably needed. If it's not causing problems, leave it be.
