Nothing under "/media"... hum, well, and where's your CD/DVD then? :-) Insert a CD or DVD, run "mount" and put here the output. Dmesg could be another option. > I have followed the directions given at > http://thunar.xfce.org/documentation/C/ … media.html > <http://thunar.xfce.org/documentation/C/using-removable-media.html> and > have all the relevant options selected, but still nada. > > I raised this question on the Xfce forum and the response was: "Xfce > uses an abstraction layer to be able to deal with most of those > technologies but if it does not work you have to fix the underlying > stuff (fix HAL/polkit permissions, install I don't know what service, > etc)." He's quite right.

In GNOME there is an option (via gconf-editor) to set if media volumes icons have to be visible on the desktop or not ("/apps/ nautilus/desktop/volumes_visible") but in XFCE I dunno :-?
