This is true when you click on the entry under Kickoff->Computer, or on the icon under the Places menu. When you click on the Notifier entry you do get a popup (at least I do). (Also, the Notifier text is misleading. It refers to "Devices recently plugged in", but I also see my external USB hard drive which is never unplugged and has been there since boot time. It should really say "Removable devices") > There is a tiny icon drawn on the entry as > to whether the media is mounted or not. See the attached > screenshot for the difference. I would argue that it's not very visible, but that's a matter of taste. poc
