I'm jumping into this discusion because my USB thumb drive does NOT
appear on the desktop when I plug it in when I use KDE. And I can't
find it anywhere in the file system, either. In gnome, on the other
hand, it appears a few seconds after I plug it in.

Anybody think that this is strange? Any solutions? I googled a little
for 'usb kde' and 'mount usb' but couldn't get anything useful out of
that otherwise deep information well.

More information: I have a /media/Bo folder. In this folder there are
four files which just happen to be the first four files that I ever
moved into the usb device, in gnome I think. Those files have long
since been deleted from the device, and the device reinsrted many
times, but they are still there.

Thanks
