This inspired me.

I'm running RHEL desktop beta 1.

I unplugged my USB disk from my Ahtlon and plugged it into my test toy.

There was a whirr of disk and dmesg showed the disk was recognised by the USB 
subsytem. Further examination showed /media/usbdisk, and a suitable entry 
in /etc/fstab. 

No icon on (KDE) desktop, but that's probably due to preferences.

Unplugged that, plugged in camera.
Same deal, different options if fstab.

Now, the big test:
Plug in BOTH.
[summer@thylacine ~]$ ls -l /media/
total 32
drwxr-xr-x  2 root root 4096 Nov 23 13:37 cdrom
drwxr-xr-x  2 root root 4096 Nov 23 13:37 idedisk
drwxr-xr-x  2 root root 4096 Nov 24 09:08 usbdisk
drwxr-xr-x  2 root root 4096 Nov 24 09:15 usbdisk1
[summer@thylacine ~]$


Now, when I plugged this camera into my Mac it automatically started iphoto. 
On ubuntu Linux it started gtk-thumb.

I think RH is lagging here. I can mount stuff and get at my photos, but it 
should be easier.
