Just wanted to add a "me, too" for thumb drives (multiple brands / sizes), but also to add that I have the same behaviour on a logitech usb microphone, as well as a logitech usb webcam. Both will show up if I do "lsusb" after hot-plugging. The straight-up microphone will only work if I have it plugged in at power-up. If I hot-plug the webcam, "cheese" will be able to find / use it, but "camorama" (as well as any flash apps) won't recognize it unless I have it plugged in at power-up.
