When nautilus is started with the --no-desktop flag,
it should assume that it is used as a file manager,
and not a desktop manager. As such, it should not
mount devices except for browsing them; thus, if
media_automount_open is false, the devices should
not be automounted.

This is a spin-off from bug #570314, where nautilus'
automounting was interfering with KDE's automounting.
A substantial part of the problem was the lack of a
preference (in the preferences dialog) to control
automounting. There is a preference for "Browse media
when inserted" under "Media", but that only controls
media_automount_open.

Hey Shai,

this is an old bug.

Could you please still reproduce this issue with newer nautilus version
like 3.4.2-1+build1 or 3.8.2-3 ?

thanks
regards
Pedro

Hi there,
Version: 3.4.2-2

It seems that even with media_automount and media_automount_open set to true,
and without the --no-desktop flag, a nautilus opened within a KDE session does
not automount media anymore. If this is indeed the case, then the bug is moot.

Hope this helps,
	Shai.
