I'm running F 17 with Xfce, on two computers and on both, I've told it
to mount removable media when inserted. When I plug a flash drive in,
on either box, it appears on the desktop, but if I right-click on it,
one of the options is to mount it. I can't speak for the OP, but that's
how I know they're not mounted.
