I can'd speak for David, but I'd just like an icon to appear on my 
desktop when I insert a USB device. One I can click on to mount, 
unmount, open fileman, or whatever. Right now, e17 out of the box 
doesn't recognise anything has happened.

In e17 it's Settings > All > Files > File Manager.

Setting it to mount volumes on insert does not work: when a USB stick is 
inserted, it is not mounted (at least, not in /media/<username>). 
Perhaps e17 mounts it somewhere else.

Setting it to open file manager on insert also does nothing. File 
manager does not run when a USB stick is inserted.

However, when I UNclick open file manager on insert and then click 
Apply, a little spinner flashes up briefly in the bottom LH corner of 
the screen.

So e17 IS recognising something happening, it's just not doing anything 
meaningful about it, which is a pity; I have to fire up Dolphin to be 
certain that I can see stuff that gets plugged in.

I'm running e17 on Xubuntu 14.04.3 LTS

When I first saw Eject as an option for USB drives, I thought how nice 
it would be if the socket had a spring-loaded ejecter like a tape drive 
does :-)
