Screen cap so we can see what you're talking about?
Screen cap attached. Left is TDE background, center is Panel, right is Main Panel. There's also an External Toolbar which is not shown. The green thing with the blue circle with the white "i" is the thing of interest. Mouse is hovering over it in order to display tooltip.
And what's on its About?
The About calls it "Device Monitor 0.1" and the tooltip as shown in the screen cap shows "Device Monitor". Otherwise it contains lots of mentions of "Device Manager". Maybe this thing monitors devices and offers to invoke Device Manager on volumes which are not mounted. Specifically it is a tdehwdevicetray process.
I sorta figured that you would have already discovered those other suspects.
Okay, so I don't have a solution, but I did come up with a little more info, just by poking around my own system. The item in question is apparently named tdehwdevicetray; so, on the assumption that it was actually an app that could be uninstalled, then reinstalled again,
I tried to uninstall it, got the message "Unable to locate package tdehwdevicetray"; so I thought, maybe it's part of some other package, and I tried to remove it as tdehwdevicetray*, but still no luck. I tried searching for it by apt-cache search, still nothing.
For what it's worth, I included a screenshot of where it occurs in my start menu, but otherwise I am striking out.
