This looks like gnome-vfs isn't picking up the change. Reassigning to that component.

This is not fixed for FC 4 Test 3 and all updates applied from rawhide as of 2005-05-05. It seems to depend on the device plugged in: my Firewire Ipod get's the icon added to the desktop, my USB Ipod shuffle does not, and my USB SD Card Reader doesn't either. Funny enough, both of these USB devices can't be ejected (they can be unmounted, but not ejected), too - not that I know if this has anything to do with this problem here.
Fedora Core 3 is now maintained by the Fedora Legacy project for security updates only. If this problem is a security issue, please reopen and reassign to the Fedora Legacy product. If it is not a security issue and hasn't been resolved in the current FC5 updates or in the FC6 test release, reopen and change the version to match. Thank you!
Removable volume handling has gone through a lot of changes since this. If you still have problems in FC5/FC6, open a new bug with the exact problems.
