Comment:

 The Journal behavior I am currently seeing (Joyride 2368+, Journal-98) is
 repeatable.  Most USB sticks (e.g., /media/KINGSTON), when I plug them in,
 show up as an icon on the bottom edge of Journal.  That means I have to go
 to Journal, and click in the icon's palette, in order to unmount that
 stick.

 But what I myself enjoy is that I have a particular USB flash drive (in
 the dump it is shown on /dev/sde1 as /media/CAVE) which is mounted by
 journal/datastore *without* any icon showing up for it on the Journal
 screen.  That means I can unmount that flash drive directly from Terminal
 (where I have been using it), and NOT have to go to the Journal screen to
 issue the unmount.

 Certain developers have said *all* removable devices should be shown as
 Journal icons when they get mounted.  For their inspection, I am enclosing
 an olpc-log dump taken with /media/CAVE mounted, but not having an icon in
 Journal.
