Yes, I just tried that.  A DVD is indeed automounted.

As far as I can tell, hal does not notice changes since boot in any
USB devices.  It must be something in hal that is missing or changed.

I've ruled out the nvidia driver or the modesetting driver.  X11 is
still involved somehow.  Restarting the display manager does allow
you to recover a USB keyboard if you happen to change it.  Of course,
doing that is just about as drastic as rebooting.
