All:
I think the problem being referred-to here, is when the USB device is
already plugged-in when the system is booted.
Of course, you could un-plug it, and re-plug it in, but I am very
apprehensive about unplugging USB mass storage devices without being
absolutely sure it isn't mounted.

Sorry, I did not fully read...
1. Plug in USB device
2. Allow PCManFM to mount it.
3. The device will appear on the PCManFM listing on the panel to the
left.
the USB will be mounted at..
/media
under the user name.
e.g. I'm phillw, and my USB (DANE-ELEC) device can be found via:
cd /media
followed by
phillw@piglet:/media$ ls
which will give the listing as per below (it will be your user name)
cdrom phillw
You can then cd into your user name area...
phillw@piglet:/media/phillw$ ls -l
total 20
drwx------ 14 phillw phillw 20480 Jan 1 1970 DANE-ELEC
at which point you will see the name of your USB (DANE-ELEC) in my case.
Hope that helps.
Regards,
Phill.

Indeed,
when a USB device is plugged in, a window will appear to ask if
you want it mounting via 'File Manager'. Just accept the top
option and the device will appear on PCManFM in the left hand
pane.

not sure about automount to the desktop but it should
appear in the
left hand column of pcmanfm (when you open any folder)
it should be
listed there, you shouldn't have to manually go
to /media
