Now for the Dennis suggestion in #& of 572042: inserting the USB stick on reboot. This does make a slight difference in my case. The devices /dev/sdb and /dev/sdb1 are created, no hal proces is stated, but an entry in /media/ is created with root as owner. Result is I cannot read from it or write to it. I have not tested with autologin at all. All just plain logins. Logs: xsession-errors.mounted-before-reboot and dmes.mounted-before-reboot
