@maeru,

Thanks for taking the time to share this.

This seems to almost work...

Clicking on the Floppy Disk icon in Nautilus (Places | Computer) causes the 
icon to change.
When I click on that (new) icon, I get the following error message:
    Error mounting: mount exited with error code 1: helper failed with:
    mount: only root can mount /dev/fd0 on /media/flopy0

So this looks like a permissions problem.
However, I am a member for the "floppy" group.

I tried changing the permissions of /media/floppy0 to grant read, write,
execute permissions to all, but that did not help.

Notably, the following command mounts the floppy disk without requiring root 
privileges:
$ udisks --mount /dev/fdo

Any suggestions?
