So it really had worked? Hmmm. I plugin my USB Stick got it mount to the
Desktop, i plugin Mouse and other Stuff and Xorg loads it. 

Afaik as Linux goes to the Desktop it should be in there.

As we are all FC3 User we know that using the newest Distribution is
something like beeing a Test Object for the Developers. You wan't stable
and well tested feature's? Stay one Release behind. 

You wan't bleeding egde? Well then install the newest Release. 
But installing the newest Stuff and whining that it doesn't work as you
expect it is not clever. 

Just my 2 Cents.
