External sources

[Neil Winchurst]

Until recently I used KDE as my DM. Now I am using Maya Xfce. I do know 
Xfce reasonably as it is installed on a couple of laptops used by family 
members.

My question - I am used to a program which looked after external 
sources, that is a memory stick or an external HD using a USB port. It 
was mainly making sure that it was safe to remove without losing any 
changes.

There was an icon on the panel for this which would activate as soon as 
an item was plugged in to a USB port. Clicking on this icon gave me info 
about the newly inserted item, a list of programs which could be used 
with it and, most importantly, a button to click when I had finished 
with it.

This last would run a program to ensure that any changes had taken 
effect and then I would see a message to tell me that it was now safe to 
remove the item.

I can't find anything like that with Xfce. Can anyone point me in the 
right direction please?

Thanks

Neil
