Camera does not register properly with udev?

Camera does not register properly with udev?

[Brad Hermanson]

Hello,

I'm trying to debug an issue with udev not registering my camera 
properly on Slackware 13.37. When I run udevadm monitor --property, it 
shows this when I plug in and then unplug the camera:

The fourth entry is the one that is the most descriptive and is the one 
I want (I'm trying to get my camera working with Shotwell--a photo 
manager). However, Shotwell's call to gudev never returns this device, 
and I'm starting to suspect it's a problem with the way udev is set up. 
When I unplug the camera, that same device (that has ID_VENDOR, 
ID_GPHOTO2 and GPHOTO2_DRIVER) is not listed. However, there are 6 
devices added and 6 removed, yet none of the ones removed have ID_VENDOR 
set, etc. On Ubuntu, unplugging the camera, shows the same device when 
it's removed, so I'm guessing it's something Slackware is doing with 
udev. It's almost like it's clearing out ID_VENDOR and so right after 
it's added..? This is way out of my comfort zone, so forgive me if some 
of what I say doesn't make sense... but any ideas what could be causing 
this?

Thank you,
Brad

I now think it's a problem with gvfs-gphoto2-volume-monitor not taking 
control of the device, so nevermind. :) GVFS doesn't come standard with 
Slackware, so something's not configured properly.
