Thanks for reminding me of syslog!   I checked the  syslog file from the
17-th for my successful mounts  of USB sticks before the Gentoo upgrade,
and to my surprise  the USB stick was not mounted  by some DBus incanta-
tion, but rather directly via "ntfs-3g".   Running "man ntfs-3g" pointed
me to file  "etc/fuse.conf"  (provided by package  "sys-fs/fuse-common",
which HAD BEEN upgraded on that day) where the option "user_allow_other"
was commented out.   I don't know whether or not this option did not ex-
ist in earlier versions  or then was on by default,  but uncommenting it
solved the problem! Phew ...

Sincerely,
