USB-stick not showing up in media:/

Hello! It seems that using the KDE 3.5.3 packages for SuSE 10.0 I cannot get my USB-stick to appear in media:/ after I plugged it in. It is mounted and accessible though, since I can just cd to /media/usbdisk and have a look at its contents. I read on bugs.kde.org that this could be related to a broken linkage to HAL which results in it not reporting the mount-states correctly. How can I find out, if this is really the case? Thanks, Sven
