Thanks to all involved in this thread for answering my questions a week 
before I asked.

As far as icons on the desktop...
When I was doing battle with my Lexar multi-card reader I tried it on 
another box I have, running FC4 -- kernel  2.6.12-1.1398_FC4 and KDE  
3.4.0-6 Red Hat. KDE did, indeed, display an icon when the reader was 
connected and removed the icon when the reader was unplugged.

I do not get the icon on this CentOS machine, running kernel 2.6.9-11.EL 
and KDE 3.3.1-3.10 Red Hat. Personally, I don't care 'cause I'm gonna 
write a script to find the reader, mount it, mv the images to hard drive 
and umount when finished.
