I missed that suggestion when it first came around. I did that... and it 
works!! Nice.

Now, the thing is I can access the SD Card by browsing for it in 
Konquerer (Is that what the file explorer is called in KDE?). But it 
doesn't come up on the desktop. To make it show up on the desktop 
automatically when I put a card in, is there a setting I can do for that?

Which actually brings me to a related question. In KDE, when I log in, I 
have my two DVD drives already on the desktop (as disk icons), 
regardless of whether or not there are disks in the drive. Is there a 
way I can have them not be there, and only appear on the desktop when I 
put in a disc?
