Perhaps there are four instances of whatever program is responsible for launching the windows upon the device insertion event.

Re: plugging in a usb drive results in 4 windows coming up.

well since he's using thunar, that would be thunar-volman; but I've never seen thunar volman opening four windows before. you could check that only one instance of thunar is running; or run thunar in daemon mode like I do in my .xinitrc using "Thunar --daemon &"

how do I run it in daemon mode? Is it like this?

#!/bin/sh

#
# ~/.xinitrc
#
# Executed by startx (run your window manager from here)
#
numlockx &
Thunar --daemon &
# exec startkde
# exec startxfce4
# exec icewm
# exec blackbox
# exec fluxbox
  exec xfce4-session

You don't need to run it in daemon move, xfce4 starts it for you.

Does it happen with all flash drives?

yes (btw, the image I attached above is a camera being mounted, this also happens with my two usb drives)

Re: plugging in a usb drive results in 4 windows coming up.

As a workaround disable volume management in Thunar. After plugging in a usb device you can click on the little icon in the folder list that appears after plugging in the drive to load it and browse the folders.
