If you are basing your experience on fc5t2 behavior..as you claim..
and have not been tracking the development tree updates.. your
experience is immaterial to whats currently available.

I just booted into a fresh kde user.. it mounts, though not
correctly... but ti definitely mounts from the icon.

I do not get such a message. I get /media/floppy-# mounted.  In fact I
see exactly the behavior described in
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=181483

Is this the behavior which are are trying to communicate?
