Nautilus mounts all filesystems

Dear Alexander:

I'm wondering if you may help with a suggestion. A recent update to
Nautilus in Rawhide started to mount all filesystems it can find.
Look at the goofy UID mountpoints under media:

[zaitcev at niphredil ~]$ df
Filesystem           1K-blocks      Used Available Use% Mounted on
/dev/mapper/N1-Fedora
                      11109328   6180420   4355468  59% /
/dev/sda2               132221     62889     62505  51% /boot

This is rather inconventient for my laptop where I have a few
virtual systems. Usually they are mounted manually, through this
/etc/fstab:

[zaitcev at niphredil ~]$ more /etc/fstab 
/dev/N1/Fedora          /                       ext3    defaults        1 1
LABEL=/boot             /boot                   ext3    defaults        1 2
tmpfs                   /dev/shm                tmpfs   defaults        0 0
devpts                  /dev/pts                devpts  gid=5,mode=620  0 0
sysfs                   /sys                    sysfs   defaults        0 0
proc                    /proc                   proc    defaults        0 0
debug                   /sys/kernel/debug       debugfs defaults,noauto 0 0
/dev/N1/Swap            swap                    swap    defaults        0 0
/dev/N1/Q               /q                      ext3    defaults,noatime 1 2
/dev/N1/RHEL4           /mnt/rhel4              ext3    defaults,noauto 0 0
/dev/N1/RHEL5           /mnt/rhel5              ext3    defaults,noauto 0 0
[zaitcev at niphredil ~]$ 

So, is this behaviour configurable?

Failing that, I'm wondering if we could NOT mount volumes that ARE
explicitly mentioned in /etc/fstab. Sounds counter-intuitive, but
I like the way it works now for iPod, USB readers, flash keys, etc.
I don't want to go back to caveman tricks... except for the multitude
of special logical volumes.

Yours,
-- Pete
