Thanks Ian - I will have to check later as I have a heavy work day today -
but prior to yesterday's updates no internal partition icons appeared on the
desktop in Gnome - immediately after the updates and rebooting to the new
kernel this was the unexpected behaviour.  I had not rebooted the machine
for about a month prior to last night so it is possible that this new
behaviour is due to some other updates that came in sometime during the past
month and not specifically one of those from last night.

Anyway I will check the authorisations and other settings tonight - but in
the meantime I wonder if anyone else is seeing the same behaviour?
