Bug Description
I'm not quite sure what to assign this bug to yet, as I only have my one USB floppy system to test with.
When inserting a usb floppy drive I am presented with the option to open in a new window or do nothing from KDE.
Open in New Window - does nothing, it does not mount nor open a window.
When I navigate to "Storage Media" in kde the floppy device is not listed, however since this now points to /media instead of media:/ I would expect it not to show there since it wasn't mounted and no folder was created. I can live with this - let's not go back to media:/ :)
At this point I'm not sure if this is a HAL or a KDE issue, I ask that people who have legacy floppies and usb floppies both to test and share their results here.

Thank you for the bug report.
I remember a bug similar to this a while back, and I think it was later fixed. Are you still having problems? If so, what version of Kubuntu and KDE are you using?
