YMMV but in KDE and Gnome in FC4 this stuff now works here
automagically.  The thing is recognized, a mountpoint like
/media/USBDISK is created automatically, and at least a link to mount it
placed on your desktop, or if all goes well in KDE, you get a "What do
you want to do when this drive is connected" type dialog.
