Icons on Gnome desktop

[andy <geek_show@dsl.pipex.com>]

Hello

Minor issue really, but would be nice if I could sort it out, so help 
would be welcomed:

My Lenny system faithfully automounts CDs and USB data sticks,etc., but 
when I am in Gnome, these automounted devices are not iconised on the 
desktop itself. If I go into "computer" (or whatever it is called), I 
can double click the device icon and then it will appear on the desktop.

Whenever I switch over to Xfce4 or even KDE for a change, the icon 
appears on the desktop automagically.

Anyone have any suggested fixes to this minor inconvenience?

Cheers

Andy
