I've installed KDE 4.8.1, using the OS ati driver. Now when I insert/eject/insert/eject my USB key at some point the desktop seems to crash a very short while, but again it recovers itself. Tried to enable/disable the auto-mount feature in KDE, but it didn't make any difference.
I seem unable to find any useful upstream bug about this problem so far.
