KDE has an auto-mounting program; I don't use it and have forgotten it 
name. I think it uses HAL, which I don't use either.

However, if you are using udev, that might be doing the device 
assignment . Check in /etc/udev for a bunch of files named *.rules. 
There is (at least) one for storage. You might check the rules files for 
mention of usb memory sticks or usb drives. udev might be controlling 
what happens when they get plugged it. Edit the appropriate file to get 
the behavior you want.
