glib gio usage of the library outside of GNOME

[Michael Weimann <mail michael-weimann eu>]

Hello,

I'm curently working with the gio library. Especially with the 
GVolumeMonitor. My problem ist, that the GVolumeMonitor doesn't seem to 
work outside of GNOME (e.g. on a terminal only).

I created a test code:
g_type_init();
GVolumeMonitor *vmon = g_volume_monitor_get();
GList *drives = g_volume_monitor_get_connected_drives(vmon);
printf("DRIVES: %p\n", drives);

Inside of GNOME I receive a valid entry for drives, outside nil.

Is there any special thing, e.g. initialize gio, to get this working?

Thanks and Greetings
