Bug 41063 describes the desired desktop context menu. This bug report is about
creating and adding to the Desktop's menu the command to update the
removable-media icons on the desktop ("Check for removable media"). Presumably
if we can get it working well enough we wouldn't need this at all, because the
icons would always be kept in synch automatically a la Macintosh.

While it's not clear whether we need this explicit command (doesn't Gene's
existing code already auto-detect?), it's not something we will defer. We'll
either decide that the design works without this command or add the command.

I'll evaluate this fine bug.

I have evaluated the bug and the original estimate was too short.
We do need this command for some types or removable media like floppies.
It would also be good to handle all type of removable media as well.  This is a
good safeguard as we don't know for sure what the automounter can handle yet.

Rubber-stamping as Verified/FIXEd. Gene's resolution works without adding an
additional command.

(Specifically, the 'Disks' submenu lists the types of removable media available.
Newly inserted media is checked when the user selects the drive type from the
menu.)

Sullivan, if this isn't an acceptable resolution UI-wise, please re-open.

Doh. I forgot that Arlo has a Desktop UI spec, so the implementation might also
be relevant to him.

This UI could no doubt be improved, but doing so doesn't fit under the 
scope of this bug. We should leave this verified and bring up additional 
issues in the future under new bug reports.
