Hi!
I know of two ways to achieve this:
If you right-click on the desktop and click "configure desktop", you have a
third tab names "Device Icons". There you may select what should appear or
not
Now, if you have some kind of automount working, then a hotplug device should
pop up on your desktop when connected.
If you prefer manual mount (that's my case) you can add your device
in /etc/fstab and you can add an icon for the unmounted device (or one will
show automaticaly, it depends).
In my case, I have a line in fstab for my nfs share, but it's "noauto"
mounted, so an icon for an unmounted network share is shown on the desktop,
and I can manually mount the share if necessary.
Maybe there are other ways to do that,
Thierry
