Desktop device icons do not show at all

[WoWeePratt]

I had the same problem. I stumbled upon a post in another group which solved 
my problem. I'm new to Linux, and I'm at a Windows machine, so I'm going off 
memory here, but:

In Konquerer find something where it says "Devices". Right click on 
"Devices" and fish around until you find a dialogue box where you can rename 
that to "Media".  That worked for me.

Thanks, Justin --

I have all those services running, except dbus. Is this a new requirement 
for
KDE? I had icons in kde 3.3 without dbus. I can run devfsd. Would that make 
a
difference?
