Well done. I assumed it was a lower level than that, as usbmount wasn't
DE-specific.

I'm running Xfce, hence the Thunar file manager, which I don't use, and
apparently thunar-volman which does automounting. It doesn't show up in
an apt-cache search for automount.

I don't have pmount installed.

So do I. If I don't want a USB stick mounted, I don't plug it in. If I
do plug it in, apart from formatting, why would I not want it mounted?
I don't want any applications or media to autorun, but I do want the
filesystems mounted.
