3: launch usb-creator-gtk from terminal via sudo to avoid stupidity with policy kit 
4: select usb stick in usb-creator-gtk window
5: Click Erase Disk
6: Get an error box
7: Close error box
8: Realize usb-creator is now stuck.  Close it.
9: Eject the usb stick via file browser
10: remove usb stick, count to 10, re-insert usb stick.
11: Stick no longer automounts.
12: Try 10 again
13: Still  no auto-mount of htat stick.  USB Creator broke it.

NOW:

In terminal:
sudo mkfs.vfat /dev/sdX1 (Partition on your USB stick that usb-creator broke)

then remove stick and re-insert it and Ubuntu will once again recognize
the disk and mount it automatically on insert.
