TBH, the problem as such isn't clear to me. You have USB stick which is
formatted FAT16 (say). I'd expect after plugging it into your Debian
machine 'lsblk' would show the device and its partitions. Does this
happen?

Then something like

  pmount sdg1

would put the mount point as /media/sdg1. Does this happen?

What I'm unclear about is whether this is a question which is about the
DE being used. I cannot see the problem being DE specific, either. In
GNOME and Xfce the USB device would show up left hand pane of Nautilus.
Mounting is by right clicking on it. pmount has nothing to do with the
mounting.
