Bug#531379: nautilus: Does not mount usb stick volumes, no error output

[Ulrik Sverdrup]

This is the same bug as #530256 : I fixed it by using the environment
variable workarond posted by Michael Biebl in that bug.

Noting here that
1) Nautilus does not display errors properly
2) The "new" gnome desktop is very fragile!
