There must be a deeper problem, then.  I now have my card-reader plugged in to 
USB, and it shows up as '1.0G Removable Media	0 B Unmounted Removable Media' 
and from there, a right click gives mount, download images and safely remove 
among the options.

The problem must be in hal and dbus, I would think, so it's really a Fedora 
problem, not a kde one.  Try taking it to the Fedora Users list.

Sorry I couldn't help more.
