how to get a mounted USB stick icon on desktop
I am using udev to detect and mount a USB external floppy drive. When I
mount the floppy drive, an icon appears on the desktop and when I umount
it, it dissappears. Recently I added a udev rule to mount a USB stick in
a similar fashion but I am not getting the icon for the mounted USB
stick on the desktop. What am I missing here? I also mount/umount the
'disk mounter' utility of gnome panels.
Running Debian Unstable on Dell Inspiron 5160 laptop with kernel 2.6.7.
