I'm not sure that we are going to get the desktop icons - and I for one do 
prefer them, for their visibility.  In F9 a widget pops up when such a device 
is inserted, and in that widget you elect to open it in dolphin.  You can 
configure the length of time that the widget stays visible.

The question I asked was how to umount it.  I was told that it is done within 
dolphin - the icon in the left-hand panel.  It works, no doubt about it, but 
I don't like it much.  For one thing, it feels clumsy in the extreme to open 
it by one method and then use a totally unrelated method to umount it.
