Alex - here is what I noted from your data: The Storage icon is the same as the Filesystem icon when mounted because the Gnome icon theme does not contain a "drive-harddisk-usb" icon. If the theme contains one, then it will be used. I have a theme with that icon, and my USB drives have a different icon to the Filesystem icon (the Human theme is also ok). If you don't like it, you should report it to the Gnome bugzilla.
When an external drive is connected via USB but unmounted, it will show the "drive-removable-media-usb" icon. For the Gnome icon theme, that is a picture of a drive with a slot. The Human theme uses a picture of a drive with a USB icon. The theme I use shows a picture of a thumb drive for this icon. If you don't like it, you should report this to the Gnome bugzilla. As for the Filesystem icon, I'm not sure what other type of icon would be suitable. I don't agree with you that this one is wrong. Can you make a better suggestion? Your Macintosh icon uses the "drive-removable-media" icon when not mounted. This is because it is "removable" in the sense that it can be mounted/unmounted by a normal user via HAL. What other icon do you suggest when the filesystem has been "removed" (ie, unmounted) from the system? This icon will use the "drive-harddisk" icon when mounted, which is correct. I'm going to reassign this to the gnome-icon-theme, as most of your problems really are theme-specific. Please could you forward this upstream to the Gnome bugzilla? If you think that displaying "drive-removable-media" for unmounted internal volumes is a bug, please also feel free to report that to the bugzilla too.
