It works for me here. When I mount my USB external HDD or USB flash drive, they are mounted as /media/<partition_label>/ and shortcuts are placed on my desktop. This is with F14 and F15 (XFCE). As far as I recall, this has worked ever since I can recall (that would be sometime around F10). -- Suvayu Open source is the future.
