2) Eject and remove the disk
3) Open usb-creator
4) Insert the disk

Expected: usb-creator needs to have tighter integration into the desktop for mounting/unmounting devices. Expecting tight integration with the desktop. No errors when mounting/

Confirming, I was able to reproduce the issue by plugging in a brand new Sandisk Cruzer 8G.
Also, I'm marking this one as Medium since it *will* affect a substancial number of users, because most USB keys for sale at this point are already formatted in FAT32 and will trigger this bug.
