Success! I edited /usr/share/gnome-session/sessions/xmonad.session to look
exactly like /usr/share/gnome-session/sessions/gnome-flashback.session
except for the title and using xmonad instead of metacity, and the drive
now automounts. I thought it wasn't working at first because it didn't
happen right away, but after waiting for a second, the magic occurred. I'll
probably try to pair down the list of required components, but it looks
like it's either the gnome-flashback-services, nautilus-classic, or the
unity-settings-daemon that's providing the magic.
