I'm running Ubuntu 8.10 64-bit, with the latest updates
(backports,proposted,etc are all enabled too). I also use Extra Effects
in System>Preferences>Appearance>Visual Effects.

I'm suddenly having trouble reproducing this, so figuring this out
again...

Ok, I have some steps that seem to work every time for me. There might
be some unnecessary steps that I haven't tested enough to tell that they
aren't necessary, but there are also a few odd things that seem to be
required to get this to work. The order of these steps are important and
need to be repeated exactly.

1. Log out if you're already logged in. Log back in.
2. Start Firefox. Maximize it if its not already maximized.
3. Click Places>Computer.
4. Click on Firefox to bring it to focus.
5. Press ctrl+alt+L to lock the screen and do screensaver.
6. Press a button exit to the screensaver and show the password dialog.
7. Insert flash drive and wait about 5 seconds.
8. If nothing happens, type in your password and unlock the screen.
9. Close the newly opened window showing the flash drive's contents.
10. Go to the Computer window, right-click on the flash drive, and unmount it. 
It's icon will change once its unmounted. Remove the flash drive from the 
computer.
11. Click on Firefox again to bring it to focus.
12. Press ctrl+alt+L to lock the screen and do screensaver.
13. Press a button to exit the screensaver and show the password dialog.
14. Insert flash drive and wait about 5 seconds.
15. The bug I described should happen.
