The mounter applet is always visible. I don't know why I would want an extra shortcut to / in my panel..? But functionality like the mounter applet - just only show removable drives. It wouldn't hog you n-a unless you have a "permanent" usb storage device attached - in which case I suggested the possibility to hide certain devices. Also, keeping track of this inside g-v-m instead of in a separate applet would probably also save you a few megs of memory.
