Re: GWorkspace: icons shown on the Desktop even without any plugged device

Hi Patrick,

sorry it is taking so long, I am trying to understand what is going on 
at your side!

Is it "interfering" somehow? if you insert something will it show in 
/etc/mtab? I will mount disks usually automatically in a different 
place, e.g. /usr/media or /media?

I was able to get GWorkspac eget along with an automounter too, but it 
is a bit different and each time a different tweak.

Ok. So it appears not there. Plese check mtab to see if it comes p with 
another name. E.g.

grep /etc/mtab CRUCIAL
grep /etc/mtab usb
grep /etc/mtab sd

as suggestions

That is a mystery.

Please check SystemPreferences Volumes.

- under reserved mount types you should have just system stuff: proc, 
shm and suc suff. I also have usbdevfs (don't remember what it is)
- under removable media you hould have only /mnt/CRUCIAL and /mnt/CLEPAT

then you should have /etc/mtab set

I have a doubt: what are CRUCIAL and CLEPAT ? two USB disks ? are the 
UUID correct?

Question other way around. If you use just a command line and do mount, 
if you plug in one or the other, do they land correctly in the 
respective mount points?
