I don't understand the problem if the partitions are mounted, then they 
are visible in the file system.  I can see my partitions by going 
through the file system from the gnome Computer icon.  They are "not" 
separate but part of the filesystem where they are mounted.

Are you saying that you expect to see each partition displayed with it's 
own icon?

The removable drives show up as expected.

Menu editing has always been a pain for me since RH/Gnome moved to this 
format.  I have searched through the various *.desktop files to find 
where things are buried.

There was an article that I had for RH 8 that explained the changes and 
how some menu features can be called from other menu lines.

There is a need for a decent menu editor.
