I have the same issue, where in Dapper it was even in the menus. After updating, or from a fresh install (I tried both) that menu item has been remove and when trying to install the gnome applet in the panel, nothing appears at all.
Also available to do some testing (my laptop is a Thinkpad T60 with CD drive but I noticed the same on a Toshiba r100). -- [edgy-regression] drivemount applet (Disk Mounter) completely blank https://launchpad.net/bugs/67870 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
