After a fresh boot, 

test 1.

The mounttray applet, on gnome-panel notification
area was ended by clicking on the mounttray icon and then clicking
on the close tray option on the popup item list. 

A pc-mounttray command was issued via terminal which produced the
following:   

Begin terminal output:
