thunar - HAL free, removable device

It states, that it needs volman plugin, which I did installed and setup-ed in prefs, BUT when I insert optical media or USB in a side pane doesn't appear icon, which would grant mounting.
Docs state that FreeBSD users DON'T need HAL for this (only for advanced mounting features)

At OS level, is everything setup-ed, to allow mounting, as I CAN do it as a non-root user via terminal. (both USB stick and optical media)

My current workaround, is to setup User Customizable Actions on mountpoint folders and mount through right click menu.

Using 8.2 RC2

From official documentation
Thunar supports removable media if it was built with support for HAL, or if you are using FreeBSD. Note however that on FreeBSD 6.0 or newer, it is suggested to use HAL rather than the native support provided by Thunar.
Long time passed since 6.0 was released.
Does this mean dev silently dropped support for it?
Hell with HAL, I won't use it!
Even X.org announced, to drop it soon.
