Thanks for your response. To save further confusion, which is something
I should have done right from the word go, here's a list of all the xfce
packages I have installed on my system:

I just plugged in my USB memory stick. Here's the output of dmesg with
regard to that:

As far as I can tell, it's not auto-mounted, is it? 'ls /media' and 'ls
/mnt' return nothing.

I could probably use the 'mount' command, to access the files on the
memory stick, I'd like my system to auto-mount it.

Any pointers would be appreciated.
