Okay. Bug report 385 filed.
In KDE 3.5.10,
with floppy drive
polling explicitly disabled with HAL, the
Unmounted Floppy icon appears on my desktop. This
provides me a means to
manually mount floppy disks. Yeah, once in a blue
moon
I still use
floppies (I have some old computers with no USB
support).
BTW, disabling polling stops the clicking sound.
With Trinity, the Unmounted Floppy desktop icon no
longer appears. I
presume this has something to do with polling
being
disabled.
I can get the Unmounted Floppy icon to appear by
inserting a USB flash
drive. This seems to refresh the desktop. But
this
lasts only for that
session. Next restart of Trinity and the
Unmounted
Floppy desktop icon is
gone.
Is this different behavior a bug or a "feature"?
It's a bug. You will also notice it occurring with
unmounted CD drives
and hard disks.
