Bug Description
This bug is 100% reproducible and 100% annoying. In Kubuntu Gutsy, if you "Safely Remove" a USB pendisk, the device does get indeed unmounted. HOWEVER, the icon also disappears from the Desktop, making it impossible to mount it again without having to physically unplug and replug the device (or to use the console, which I do).

Thanks for reporting this bug.
The behaviour is by design, the bug should be marked as wishlist. I believe this way is more suited to most users as the terms "unmount" and "safely remove" seem to have been swapped for ease of use purposes. People don't really consider their device as "unmounting", they think the procedure is just what you to to make it safe enough to pull out.
