For your information: I have a permanently attached floppy in my toshiba 
laptop.

Yes I have an entry pointing to /media/floppy0 

I followed your advice an deleted - no uncommented this line and then did a 
sudo mount - a
After this I did try out, what media:/ does now. 

Klicking on the floppy icon - then the laptop does mount "noise" - then the 
folder system:/media/fd0 is opened - and it is empty (as before). 
But now when I open the folder /media/fd0 the content of the floppy is there. 
When I click back to system:/media - the floppy is shown as unmounted though 
the floppy ist mounted to /media/fd0

Another change: when I had the entry in my fstab, I was able to 
umount /media/floppy0 as normal user. Now (with no entry in the fstab) I need 
to do this as root. 

Did I miss something? 

Unfortunately this does not look like a solution for me. 

Best regards,
