Remove the --enable-umount-helper from Makefile helps to get USB flash  
drive to function correct. Now icon of USB flash drive appears on desktop  
and auto-mount/open nautilus to browser in there. It works perfect. I  
always wondering why HAL is damn faster than Windows to recognize the USB  
flash drive. ;-)

As for the CD/DVD, it makes no difference. It is still same with no  
--enable-umount-helper. Do you want me to fill out more details from our  
FAQ for this issue?

Indeed. :-)
