Which desktop are you using? Does it have an auto-mounter installed
by
default?

I'm using XFCE4 and everytime I insert a USB with FAT or ext2/3/4
the icon pops up on a desktop but I mount them manually.Â

I remember asking on this list for instructions on how to auto-mount
removable drives some time ago as well.
Here's a copy of the rely I got. Hope this helps.

xfce-base/thunar needs to have USE="udev" enabled and
xfce-extra/thunar-volman must be installed
i don't see thunar-volman in your list there
futhermore authorization from polkit/consolekit must be working, so you
must see 'active = TRUE' line when you run `ck-list-sessions` in your
Xfce's Terminal as a normal user, see this thread (first post of it):
[4]http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-858965-start-0.html
and like said, xfce4-mount-plugin is irrelevant, and `mount` command
shouldn't be used at all for udisks maintained removable devices,
instead `udisksctl mount` should be used as a normal user if you really
want to mount from commandline
I'm not after auto mounting, I just want the USB icon to appear on XFCE desktop when I insert USB stick.
I mount them USB by right clicking on the icon and select "mount"
But for some reason or another the FAT32 is not showing up.
