In KDE it's controlled by kcontrol - that enormous config app with 1000s
of selectable options. There's a selection near the top of the menu
which asks you which icons to display on the desktop. Options include a
large range of mounted and unmounted storage device types.

I can't help much with Gnome (I don't use it) but surely it will be part
of the vast array of configuration options available in the Preferences
menu. This is installed automatically with Gnome. In my limited
experience with Gnome I have always found that a device can be accessed
through the middle Other menu
