Ah, but the problem would be with the upgraded packages (I suspect picking up 
non-ubuntu binaries).  I've just done three kubuntu installs today, trying to 
get things working the way I want (that is, to have the kubuntu stuff I want 
and still have all the important stuff from my old Debian install), and I 
lost those icons in the first two - probably because I ended up reinstalling 
old debian KDE packages instead of new ubuntu ones.  The specific selections 
in this dialog that you need are "(Unm)ounted removable medium", and they 
didn't exist in the Debian sid packages.
