There are some basic configuration options in the "Removable Drives and
Media" applet in Gnome, but not much else that I can see. But it is
obviously Gnome Volume Manager that is doing some of the work that results
in removable media drive icons that show up on my Desktop, as when I boot
into xfc4, my removable media doesn't even mount, at least automatically.
