If you have entries in /etc/fstab that are not auto-mounted, and are user mountable, then you should get icons for them on the desktop. But the mount points need to exist. You may also want to look into gnome-mount. I think it can be configured to do what you want...
Thanks for the fstab tip. I can definitely do what I want to do via command line. I was just surprised to not find a GUI tool to do so. I had looked at the man page for gnome-mount ... it states right in there that it isn't really meant to me invoked by end users but rather things like gnome-volume-manager ... but gnome-volume-manager seems to be pretty opaque as to its usage and meant to just run automatically. I remember seeing a tool in either an Ubuntu LiveCD or a GNOME Desktop preview LiveCD. I thought that something like this was part of the standard tools. /Mike
