[Bug 33620] Re: Floppy icon on desktop will not open

[DaneM]

I am using Dapper Drake.  I still have this problem, though it has
changed somewhat since I made this report.  Now when I insert a floppy
into the USB drive, it will automount and open it, which is very nice.
However, when I go to open it again (having first closed the window that
came up showing the files) using the icon I created on the desktop (not
the one that it auto-created), it gives me this error:

Unable to mount the selected floppy drive.
error: /dev/sda is already mounted to /media/floppy
error: could not execute pmount

If I click on the auto-created icon it works fine, but if I unmount
("eject") the volume and then click on the icon that I made, it will
mount it again, creating another icon, and then not open a window with
the files on the drive.  Repeated clicking on the homemade icon produces
the error above.  Clicking on the auto-created icon opens up a window
showing the files.

Since an icon is now created on the desktop when a floppy is inserted,
this is not such a problem for me; it's really just an annoyance that I
can't have a floppy icon always on the desktop for mounting/unmounting
the volume at will instead of having to remove/insert the disk.

Thanks for taking notice of this bug report!  I hope it's an easy one to
fix.  :-)
