Some automount when booting, some don't. For the ones that don't, a rmmod usb_storage;modprobe usb_storage usually fixes it. It doesn't seem to be a GUI thing, but more of a USB wakeup issue with some kernels. My tests were with WD USB drives and drives I've bought and stuffed into an off-brand USB enclosure myself.
