   I doubt if that is the reason.  On my system, I have a USB stick permanently   
   in place.  Under Mageia, if I open Dolphin, it is listed but not mounted.   
   AFAIRC, it was like that under Mandriva.   
      
   But I just unplugged it and plugged it in again.  Right-clicking on the   
   popup, it did what you were expecting: it opened in Dolphin.  Using Mageia   
   Cauldron.   
      
   Has Mandriva moved to udisks (I think that is its name.)?  That changes the   
   rules completely. But df still shows my CDROM at /media/cdrom and my USB key   
   at /media/STORE N GO as before.   
      
   Not much help :(   
      
   Doug.
