>Description:
	Just fired up KDE for the first time on a new machine
	with an fdescfs(5) file system mounted on /dev/fd, and
	KDE thinks that it can see a floppy disk there (although
	it knows that it's an fdescfs mount).

	Screen grab at http://people.FreeBSD.org/~ceri/floppy.png

>How-To-Repeat:
	mount_fdescfs fdescfs /dev/fd
	Start KDE, look at system:/media.

>Fix:
	Convince the KDE developers that all the world is not Linux.
>Release-Note:
>Audit-Trail:
>Unformatted:
