    This inspired me.

    I'm running RHEL desktop beta 1.

    I unplugged my USB disk from my Ahtlon and plugged it into my test toy.

    There was a whirr of disk and dmesg showed the disk was recognised by the USB
    subsytem. Further examination showed /media/usbdisk, and a suitable entry
    in /etc/fstab.

    No icon on (KDE) desktop, but that's probably due to preferences.

    Unplugged that, plugged in camera.
    Same deal, different options if fstab.

    Now, the big test:
    Plug in BOTH.
    [summer@thylacine ~]$ ls -l /media/
    total 32
    drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Nov 23 13:37 cdrom
    drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Nov 23 13:37 idedisk
    drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Nov 24 09:08 usbdisk
    drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Nov 24 09:15 usbdisk1
    [summer@thylacine ~]$

    Now, when I plugged this camera into my Mac it automatically started iphoto.
    On ubuntu Linux it started gtk-thumb.

    I think RH is lagging here. I can mount stuff and get at my photos, but it
    should be easier.
