This is "a feature, not a bug" - removable (ie usb) devices get an icon
on the desktop automatically on plugin. Mandrake are very proud of this!
Mandrake say:
"The Mandrake Linux desktops are dynamic. This means, for instance, that
when a new software package is installed or removed, the corresponding
icon appears or disappears instantaneously in the application menu. This
same "dynamic" feature also applies to hardware devices: Plug in a USB
scanner or WebCam and a corresponding icon appears automatically on the
desktop."
Anyway, your best bet is probably to live with it, but otherwise, you
should be able to disable this somewhere.
