    I absolutely agree with you. However, I must mention that Red Hat 8 did
    recognize my camera as "camera" (although only in the name, I had to
    muont it and all, just like the usb drive).

    As for the icon, in
    KDE -> Control Center -> Desktop -> Behaviour -> Device Icons
    you can set which device icons should appear in the desktop, but I don't
    see any for usbdrive. Do we have to enable icons for all mounted HD
    partitions to get the usbdrive icon?

    Thanks,
    Gustavo.
