In KDE it's controlled by kcontrol - that enormous config app with 1000s |
| 9 |
of selectable options. There's a selection near the top of the menu |
| 10 |
which asks you which icons to display on the desktop. Options include a |
| 11 |
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 |
| 14 |
of the vast array of configuration options available in the Preferences |
| 15 |
menu. This is installed automatically with Gnome. In my limited |
| 16 |
experience with Gnome I have always found that a device can be accessed |
| 17 |
through the middle Other menu |
