My ultimate goal is to have different desktop icons for mass-storage
devices automatically appear/disappear on the desktop as the devices are
plugged/unplugged.

Now, I've gotten the icons to appear correctly according to the different
devices, but the removing issue is not working yet.

The question is:

Is the mount point for each mass-storage device stored somewhere in the
/proc? Or somewhere else?

If not, would it be possible to have it stored in /proc. I was
thinking of using some /tmp/usb-mounts or /var/run/usb/mountpoints, but I
think it would be better to have it in /proc. I'm not familiar with the
/proc filesystem and don't know how to add stuff there. Does it need to be
done in the kernel level or what?

Currently, if I plug one usb mass-storage device, all usb storage devices
get unmounted. So I would need to know what mount points get assigned to
what devices. Of course I know this during the mounting, but I'd have to
store the information to some file and then retrieve the information when
device detaches.
