I changed this from gnome-control-center to Nautilus because it is the removal of the 'media' tab that caused the loss of the feature to be able to disable 'browse media when inserted'.
It seems to be a Nautilus problem, rather than just a general configuration problem. I guess a workaround would be to uninstall Nautilus and use a different file browser that either does not browse media as soon as it is inserted, or has the option to not do so.

After upgrading to oneiric, this action has been reset to 'browse media' and there isn't a way to change it in System Settings. 'Removable Media' has settings for DVDs, Bluray, Software, and many other things, but not hard drive/removable media.
