I really don't want to take this tread off topic, but this may be relevant:
When I connect my disk-on-key in gnome, I immediately get a nautilus
icon that points to the device. I can drag and drop just like you'd
expect.

In KDE, however, no matter what, I cannot read or write to the device.
I see it in /media/Bo (I have no idea how or who chose Bo) as it was
the very first time I connected it, with the same files in there that
I put there a few weeks ago. Despite the fact that I have removed
those files from the device and since put other things there (in gnome
or my friends WInXP box), this is how it stays in KDE. I can even open
those files!

Has anyone else seen this behaviour? Is this an error in my
understanding of the way things work, a simple
something-wrong-with-my-system, or a possible bug?

Thanks all for the input.
