Are you sure its not a problem with your setup or hardware itself? It
works for me here. When I mount my USB external HDD or USB flash
drive, they are mounted as /media/<partition_label>/ and shortcuts are
placed on my desktop. This is with F14 and F15 (XFCE). As far as I
recall, this has worked ever since I can recall (that would be
sometime around F10).
