An interesting observation: I use kmail for mail, and its Save Attachment dialog displays my USB drive as an external device. If I click on it, it gets mounted as expected, and at that instant, gnome acts as if it just realized it had been plugged in and pops open an action dialog. It is then listed in the sidebar as an external drive, just as I would expect in the first place, and is accessible (and unmountable) through nautilus.
Suspicion: I now have the impression it the reason might be KDE and GNOME fighting over the USB devices. Will try and investigate further.
