Similar problems occur with any mounted volume.

For example, as user A, insert a USB stick. With default settings, a
Nautilus window will open on A's desktop (good); but Nautilus will also
try and open a window for the new volume on B's desktop (bad), resulting
in a dialog box reporting the lack of permissions. Plug in a camera:
same thing -- eg, f-spot opens on both users' desktops to import the
photos.

(When using compiz with an nvidia driver, these windows on B's desktop
appear white when B returns to his or her session; but that is a
different issue.)

Somehow, the system must know who is sitting at the keyboard and which
session is active. Windows should not be opened on the desktops
belonging to other sessions.
