Strangely, if I click on another icon in the Computer folder (e.g. Floppy or CDROM), the icon for the usbdisk appears. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): hal-0.4.0-10 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.Plug a usb key (-> no new icon in Computer) 2.Click on an existing icon (e.g. CD icon) 3.The new icon appears Actual Results: The device is mounted but no new icon appears. The new icon appears after clicking on an existing item in "Computer" Expected Results: The usbdisk icon appears as soon as the device is plugged Additional info: dmesg: usb 2-2: new full speed USB device using address 4 scsi4 : SCSI emulation for USB Mass Storage devices Vendor: BENQ Model: JoyBee120 Rev: 0100 Type: Direct-Access ANSI SCSI revision: 02 SCSI device sdb: 510144 512-byte hdwr sectors (261 MB) sdb: Write Protect is off sdb: Mode Sense: 03 00 00 00 sdb: assuming drive cache: write through sdb: sdb1 Attached scsi removable disk sdb at scsi4, channel 0, id 0, lun 0 USB Mass Storage device found at 4 SELinux: initialized (dev sdb1, type vfat), uses genfs_contexts
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.
