I tried to reproduce your problems with a USB floppy and I found nothing, if
you add the USB Floppy device to the machine and insert then the Floppy media
to the device. The only problem is KDE which react on the device and try to
mount it, also if there is no Mount() method assigned to the device. As next
you get a event for the floppy media/volume and you be able to
mount/umount/eject it, the volume get removed if you remove the device or/and
the media.

The other case where you add the USB floppy device with a already inserted
media (which you IMO should not do, but doesn't matter) to the computer. Again
the KDE problem with the device it self (which should be ignored on USB floppy
devices), but no event for the media/floppy. I fixed this in the hal
storage-addon. This works now also. (hal testpackages for 10.3/factory:
http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:/dkukawka/). This should be in
the next YOU update.

Btw. there is no need to add the storage methodes via a fdi file (as you do) to
the device itself. This is simply wrong for USB media devices. I didn't take a
look at the KDE patch, but KDE needs simply to differ between internal and USB
floppy devices, because they show a different behavior.
