    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.
    {~}> dpkg -l udev
