I came across this bug while testing oneiric, and something changed:
x) With natty, everything mounted in /media appeared on the desktop.
(does not matter if automounted or in fstab/manual)
x) With oneiric, generally nothing mounted appears on the desktop. (I think
this is by design)
- USB-Sticks, external drives, other partitions [auto]mounted in /media
appear in the launcher and inside a nautilus window in section "Devices"
- SMB or NFS Shares mounted in /media via fstab appear inside nautilus in
section "Computer" BUT NOT in the launcher
- SMB Shares mounted via "Browse Network" inside appear in section "Network",
nothing in the Launcher.
I like the old behaviour more. (one click instead of opening nautilus and
selecting shortcut)
Keep in mind: This behaviour is for users who edit their /etc/fstab files and
expect, when the mountpoint is on /media, a icon somewhere on the left side of
their Desktop appears, representing(and pointing) to that mount. If the mount
should be hidden, they can use /mnt anyway.
I think the user should be able to decide if there is a icon of a "manual
mount" on the launcher or not.
The default setting of the launcher is "Show Devices: Only Mounted", so I does
not think that we have a problem with clutter
Even in GNOME SHELL, SMB shares mounted via fstab appear directly on the
"Desktop" in the right bottom. (label: "Removable device")
