The response to my first post was a (demonstrably false) claim that the 
detection software did, in fact, report the label, followed by the 
statement that I had to talk to my DE's devs.  At the time, I was using 
F13 and Gnome, and had ample experience with the lack of response the 
Gnome devs were giving to users.

The problem continued to exist when I went to F14, and is still there 
now that I've switched to XFCE.  My main complaint isn't that it doesn't 
work, it's that the USB devs refused to even admit that their software 
wasn't reporting the label, even when presented with evidence directly 
contradicting their claim.  Yes, it's up to the DE to make use of the 
label but claiming that it's reported when it is not, isn't the best way 
to go, IMO.
