If this is the biggest problem we have in Fedora, I think we're doing
pretty good. Anyway, I there are two solutions

 1. Add yet another gconf key to /apps/nautilus/desktop

 2. Tell such users to use comment=hidden in /etc/fstab entries for
    such drives and make gvfs honor this so a mount point is hidden
    if it matches such an /etc/fstab entry.

Since this affects only the kind of people who have > 1 Linux distro
installed (for dual- or tripple-booting with Windows and Mac OS X you
actually want this. IMO ditto for dual booting with other Linux
installations but apparently others don't think so), I think we should
go for 2. Alex?
