I am running Debian 7 with gtk and opening a file browsing window and navigating to preferences yielded no options regarding media handling. For those who were having the same issue as me you might try the following.
Open the dconf editor (I added this to my application list using a gnome plugin but if you have not then you can use command line to access it) Navigate to org - gnome - desktop - media-handling Here you will find a check box for autorun-never which prevents programs from running automatically based on inserted media.
