Hi Mark

Thanks for the response.
I have filed two bug reports and here they are :

128622 	maj	Nor	nautilus-maint bugzilla gnome org	NEW		Device names with 
spaces do not show up on the desktop

128625 	nor	Nor	nautilus-maint bugzilla gnome org	NEW		Incorrect 
grouping and sorting of pluggable devices

Regards
Vivek
