If this happens again, try the following:

1) Check to see if gnome-volume-manager is running 
For instance:
$ ps aux | grep gnome-volume-manager
peter    20406  0.1  1.4  17128  6944 pts/0    S    06:07   0:00
gnome-volume-manager

2) If it isn't running, start it with " gnome-volume-manager & "
3) See if things return to normal

I think just logging out/ logging in to gnome would achieve more or less
the same result - rebooting wasn't necessary ;)
