Ummm... there could be some LUN-related problems with combined
devices, let me look it up... see the links here:

in short: try adding this line to /etc/modules.conf and reloading
the usb-storagea and scsi modules:

options scsi_mod max_scsi_luns=0xffffffff

Then it should just shouw up in KDE if hotplug service is
running.

Generally /var/log/messages knows when USB devices are moved
around :)  (it's also at tty12, Ctrl-Alt-F12)

PS: sorry for no answer on the previous letter -- nothing to come
up with (yet?).
