Hello Maxim.
Yes, it works like a charm within Gnome and using 2.6.31-21.
Two days ago I tried it without nautilus and gvfs (I use Ion3 on daily
basis), I got some errors but now I see that gnome manages just fine.
Anyway, thanks very much, it's up and running !

Pentahedron - A polyhedron having five faces. Because there are two
pentahedral graphs, there are two convex pentahedra, namely the square
pyramid and the triangular prism. The triangular prism is the unique
convex pentahedra having unit edge lengths.
