I use HAL for automounting media on a MATE desktop, and everything works fine unless there is some foreign character in a file name involved. If you e.g. generate a file on a mounted USB stick, let's say we name it 'Fähre.doc' (contains the German 'ä'), next time you plug in the stick it will not be mounted again and even other mounted media at that moment will disappear and the whole HAL mount mechanism will fail to work completely until you reboot the system. The same thing can happen if you previously used the stick in windows and saved some file on it that HAL does not like. Needless to say that this sucks completely.
I also think it does not matter what locale is set on your FreeBSD machine, HAL seems to be independent from that. Does anyone know the solution for this?
