In KDE that shipped with 9.1, when I plug my USB Flash drive in, an icon appears on the desktop within about 7 seconds. I click on it and I see the contents of the Flash drive. Capability is already there. If it's not showing up on yours: 1) Try using KDE if you're not already 2) Check that you have the latest version of hotplug 3) Check dmesg to see if it's reporting any odd errors I don't know if any other desktop provides this as I don't normally run anything other than KDE and IceWM (which doesn't have desktop icons). - -- Blue skies...
