Does "nothing happens" persist across a reboot? I think kde is
watching /dev and maybe /etc/fstab (I've gotten the popup before after
adding an fstab entry) with FAM (or maybe something more deeply
connected to udev.) If it is FAM and the device node (e.g. /dev/sda1)
is hanging around (i.e. maybe usb_storage module is not unloading),
then FAM would not fire an event because the directory didn't change.
If root does `fdisk -l` or "whatever that command is that triggers a
re-read of the partition table" (sorry, memory failure), then /dev/sda1
appears (assuming that /dev/sda was there and sda1 was not.)
If you don't find something there, you might as well check out the kde
svn because it ain't in the "handbook" :-D
