Bug description:
Binary package hint: sugar

When inserted a USB Flash key is not seen by Sugar/Sugar-Emulator (it should show up the bottom bar of Journal, see http://en.flossmanuals.net/Sugar/BackingUp), instead the USB Flash drive is mounted by the underlying OS.

At a (wild) guess there will need to be some HAL tinkering to ensure that Sugar gets notified and the underlying OS does not.
