And that was the behaviour I saw when I installed FC3 T2, however it
appears to have broken since then. No Idea when it broke since I've
not plugged any USB storage in (until just now) since I tested it
immediately subsequent to the install. I looked on bugzilla under
udev,hotplug,hwdata,hwbrowser (did I miss anything?) and don't see
anything open.
