Sri,
I am sorry I am not being clear.  Here is the situation.
I have ALL of the current RPMs from
ftp.gnome.org/pub/GNOME/gnome-1.0/redhat/i386.  These include all of
GNOME, Enlightenment, and GMC, etc.  GMC works fine, puts desktp links
up for GNOME's Web site, The Linux Documentation Project, and my Home
Directory.  A right-click on my desktop yields the GMC menu.  This menu
does not contain the menu selection 'Re-scan mountable devices'.  It is
my understanding that if this option were present, selecting it would
place an icon for the floppy and CD-ROM on my desktop.  

So my question/problem is, "How do I get this menu item to appear in my
GMC desktop menu?"

Thanks for your help, Sri.
Tim
