Thank you for the hint - I didn't have udisks (or udisks2?) installed, so I have installed it, and now I get no desktop icon. But I can mount it from the cli, possibly because I have an fstab entry. But experiments are continuing...
can you check if this somehow applies to you please? https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=650299
YES! As in the bug report, I edited /usr/share/polkit-1/actions/org.freedesktop.udisks.policy
and set the section '<action id="org.freedesktop.udisks.filesystem-mount">' to be '<allow_any>yes</allow_any>' and '<allow_active>yes</allow_active>'
and now it works as advertised. Thank you.
cheers
