Comment:
Oddly enough... no, it doesn't fix the issue (I really thought it
would).

Additional information: the drives do not show up in "computer", either,
where I was certain they would.

Additional Info #2: Hotpluggable and network drives _do_ show up in all
three locations (Tree, Places, Computer, etc) when something like my
iPod nano and USB storage key are plugged in.  When unmounted, they go
away.  CD's tend to show up as well.

Additional Info #3: Issuing a sudo /etc/init.d/dbus restart makes the
drives show up!  However, this crashes gnome-volume-manager (which kills
hotplugging/cd-mounting).  Re-running gnome-volume-manager makes
hotplugging work again, but when connecting an IPOD, the icon that shows
up is that of a standard hard drive, and not the IPOD specific one.

Curiouser and Curiouser.  Thank you for taking the duplicate tag off,
and for listening to all this drivel.
