Thunar/DBUS - floppy support.

[nuser]

 Hi,
 
 Andrey Borzenkov gave me an answer on the floppy volume not being available to Thunar.

 This is the message from HAL ml.

"There is no feasble way to probe for media on standard PC floppy drive, so HAL
adds mount methods to storage device itself, not volumes. Your volume manager
should present you with a representation of unmounted floppy and let you
manually mount and unmount it. This is the same way other OS work too.

  Makes sense, did you ever inserted a disk on a legacy floppy drive and it showed up on thunar, like happens with the cdrom? Unfortunally it didnt here =|.
