AFAIK, GNOME/Nautilus *does* show an icon for mounted volumes. The whole
project utopia stack is about mounting things automatically and making
hardware just work.
So perhaps it was a transient problem with nautilus or a configuration
issue.

I somewhere read that this is supposed/planned to be more easily
configurable in GNOME-2.8, so you might want to check that out, backport
a patch and submit it as a whishlist request, if you think your
customers rely on it. Don't expect the Debian GNOME team to fix things
they don't consider broken, though.
