GVFS and trash issue
If automounting is still not working you will finally need GVFS:
# pacman -S gvfs
This should also help to enable trash if you have no trash icon on the desktop and adding a trash applet on the taskbar creates a red circle with a white minus instead with the error message saying
 FAILED TO CONNECT TO THE TRASH. Operation not supported.
when clicking on it.
