The following is the problem text from there.

--8><----8><----8><----8><----8><----8><----8><----8><----8><----8><----8><--
On connecting my camera (Olympus Camedia C770), I am presented with two question dialogs:

"
There are photographs on this device.

Would you like to import these photographs into your photo album?
"

The second only appears after I have answered "import" to the first.

One appears to run "gthumb" and the other "gthumb-import" - this is the default behaviour it seems, since I haven't made changes in the Volume Manager program.

Furthermore, there are issues with the "gthumb-import" dialog that appears after answering "import" - 

"An error occurred in the io-library ('Unsupported operation'): Camera is supported by USB Storage driver."

This text is listed just above the "okay" "cancel" buttons, the upshot is that this dialog won't do anything useful.

Cancelling it and answering "import" to the second dialog pulls up gthumb, and i can see thumbnails of my photos there.

Running "gthumb-import" from the CLI gives a little more detail:

"libhal.c 853 : org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.Disconnected raised
"Disconnected prior to receiving a reply""

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
hal-0.4.7-1.FC3 gthumb-2.4.2-5

How reproducible:
Didn't try

Steps to Reproduce:
1. plug in the camera,
2. watch those dialogs fly
3.
  

Actual Results:  gthumb-import doesn't work

Expected Results:  gthumb import works fine

Thanks for taking the time to report this bug.
However, you are using a version that is too old and not supported anymore. GNOME developers are no longer working on that version, so unfortunately there will not be any bug fixes for the version that you use.

By upgrading to a newer version of GNOME you could receive bug fixes and new functionality. You may need to upgrade your Linux distribution to obtain a newer version of GNOME.
Please feel free to reopen this bug if the problem still occurs with a newer version of GNOME.
