Comment 2 for bug 252086

This visually nasty bug confirmed here with Ubuntu Intrepid Ibex, kernel 2.6.26-4-generic, and Gnome 2.23.5. My Western Digital 120GB external USB harddrive pops up with two desktop icons and the above error - but is nevertheless acessible without any problems. Here the dmesg output:
