I'm not sure what you mean here, vl-hot just issues a mount command
for the volume and creates the desktop icons. The filemanager which
opens from the vl-hot desktop icon should see the files afterwards.
Try refreshing it. If this doesn't work, have an open terminal running
tail -f /var/log/messages so we can see what vl-hot is doing ;).

No, they should dissapear once unmount has finished (this is the
actual visual cue that unplugging is safe). Again, a tail should help
diagnose this. Sometimes in KDE, a konqueror process will not
correctly release the mountpoint, so a simple umount fails and the
icon stays. Which is why in KDE, you have the "umount signal" and
"unmount kill" right-click actions on the icon. In XFCE however, this
kind of actions don't seem to be fully supported yet, which is the
reason for the extra unmount icon workaround. If the mountpoint won't
unmount normally, then a sync from the terminal should make it safe to
remove the drive.
