I think gvfs is handling this just so: it excludes fstab entries from places.
Most of the entries in fstab are in any case either “system” folders (like eg. 
/boot, /var, /usr/local) or “subroots” (eg. /home—anything worthwhile resides 
only under it). They don’t require shortcuts, and they can even be distracting 
for ordinary users.

I know they can be hidden one by one, and that’s what I usually do, but then I 
have to remember doing that for every user account I set up for others too— 
unless I want to get a hasty phone call saying user can’t access something 
they think they should!

I can fully understand NFS/Samba/other network shares appearing in Network 
places (although I personally find that distracting too; after all, I’ve 
mounted the shares for a purpose: to sit tightly in the directory tree as they 
should). This one I won’t be pressing on as it’s only a matter of taste :)

Maybe a halfway solution: could KIO respect x-gvfs-hide? Or does it already, I 
haven’t actually tried?
