Not authorized to mount ntfs


I had to reinstall Debian because after updating my sid installation pixbuf and apache2 got totally screwed.
So I went back to stable. I have installed ntfsprogs, but I'm still unable to mount the partition. It says not athorized, instead of a box where I can type my password to mount it. Any ideas? I may be missing something as I didn't do full gnome install, but I doubt it has to do anything wih it.
Previously I had a similar issue, not authorized. But there was an option to open with archive manager and when I clicked it I always got password dialog and it opened normally in nautilus. Now I got no option. I don't want to have it mounted by default in fstab. I just want to be able to mount it from time to time as a normal user as it should be.

Use fstab, but add/augment these options
Code:
rw,user,noauto
I use these to add an NFS mount, if I need it.

If you add the rw option you also have to install ntfs-3g and change the filesystem ebtry in fstab to ntfs-3g. The kernel inbuilt ntfs drivers have write access disabled by default.

I could stand opening nautilus as root and mounting the volume. I want to do a script to mount it so it won't be so much different than confirming password in nautilus. But now it's too much. I am not even privileged to mount my phone's storage. I had to switch to another tty, login as root and then I could transfer files, as root. I didn't have this problem on squeeze, I didn't have this problem on Wheezy testing, on sid and now new stable comes and new problems start. Any ideas how can I privilege myself to mount and open removable devices?
