I'm using Debian Stretch with MATE desktop.
I have a collection of USB drives (from 32GB -> 1TB) each with
multiple partitions.

When I plug them in I don't  want anything automatically mounted.
I want to have them appear in MATE's "Devices" menu for individual
selection.

I have only Xfce, but there is a page in the Xfce GUI 'Settings
Manager' labeled 'Removable Drives and Media' where this can be done
just by unchecking a box. Surely there is a command that unchecking
that box invokes. Unfortunately, I don't know how to figure out what
the command is from the GUI. But at least I can say that it is possible.

Yep. All the hits I got on DuckDuckGo were for desktops other than MATE.
A Gnome user on debian-user pointed me to a command line solution:
   > gsettings set org.mate.media-handling automount false

For my specific project it appears there may be side benefits.
Will have to do some reading and testing.
