I had the same problem. I would plug in my usb drive and a popup would come
up and say "blah blah, would you like to open this in a new window?" I
click yes and konqueror would start with "system:/media/sdb1" in the url
bar and a nice little error message saying it can't find sdb1 or something
like that.
I did two things and now everything works as it should:
1) installed kde-hal-device-manager (from universe)
2) added my user to the plugdev group (as per Ian Rose's instructions in a
previous message in this thread).
I'm sorry, I don't know which of those two things (or if both) fixed the
problem. I should be more methodical next time.
