Much thanks for this and similar replies. It looks as though this is the course to take in order to correct this issue. I have two machines where I have been using the Xfce desktop, a Dell laptop (Inspiron 600m) and a home-built 64-bit dual-core. When I insert a USB flash drive on the 64-bit machine, an icon shows up on the desktop. Right-clicking on the icon shows a menu that allows me to mount the drive. On the i386 laptop, no icons appear when a USB flash drive is inserted. A file browser window is opened; then clicking on the USB drive gets the drive mounted. Is there some place in the settings to make the behavior of the i386 more like that of the x64? > kevin > -- Much thanks.
