With xfce4, USB memory sticks or hard drives cause an auto-mount (via hal)... and then multiple copies of the same device appear on the desktop. For example, a Sandisk 8G USB stick with one UFS slice filling the whole device, volume label "sandisk8g". With Thunar set to "Mount removable drives when hot-plugged", "Mount removable media when inserted", and "Browse removable media when inserted", connecting the stick causes two Thunar windows to open. Both point to /media/sandisk8g. Removing the stick cleanly is also a little difficult. Right-click, unmount... and then quickly remove it, or it will be remounted by the system and up come the two windows again. Is this something due to hal seeing new volumes appear under the device name (da0s1) and the volume label? I have not been successful in getting hal to stop looking at certain /dev directories.
