I have never known a usb drive to show up on the desktop without being

not, how do you know the drive isn't mounted?
I'm running F 17 with Xfce, on two computers and on both, I've told it
to mount removable media when inserted. When I plug a flash drive in,
on either box, it appears on the desktop, but if I right-click on it,
one of the options is to mount it. I can't speak for the OP, but that's
how I know they're not mounted.
F17, XFCE as well. On my systems, an icon appears on the desktop when
the media is inserted--but it is NOT mounted. The icon is labeled:
a) using filesystem label(s), if any; or
b) the manufacturer's model name (if it can be found); or
c) a generic label (such as "4G filesystem")
You must either double-click the icon or, as Joe says, right click and
choose "mount". It will be mounted as /run/media/(username)/(label).
