Bug#365670: nautilus: shows irrelevant mounted filesystems on the desktop

[Marco van Zwetselaar]

Package: nautilus
Version: 2.12.2-2
Severity: normal

Since some time[1], Nautilus is showing icons on my desktop for /usr/local
and /var/root.  These filesystems have no special options in /etc/fstab:

  /dev/hda7       /usr            ext2    defaults  0 2
  /dev/hda12      /usr/local      ext2    defaults  0 2
  /dev/hda8       /var            ext2    defaults  0 2
  /dev/hda13      /var/root       ext2    defaults  0 2

so I wouldn't expect them to show up on the desktop.

I can disable their appearance by unsetting the volumes_visible option in
gconf, but then my 'truly hotplugged' filesystems don't show up either.

Best regards,
Marco

[1] I'm sorry, I don't know exactly when this started; it may have
started with the 2.10 -> 2.12 upgrade.
