Oneiric bug stomping

[Chris Robinson]

Problem solved - it is now part of the 'system settings' in 'removable media'.  If you uncheck 'Never prompt or start programs on media insertion' then Nautilus won't start when you plug in a pendrive or other USB drive.

This is counter intuitive if you're coming from earlier releases, when the setting was separate and part of Nautilus itself.  It would still be nice to have a separate setting, but this behaviour meets my criteria anyway (I don't like the computer to start opening things as soon as I insert a DVD or pendrive no matter what it is.)

Chris.

Oneiric is coming along nicely, but as you'd expect with all the changes we've seen this year there's still still a lot of things that seem to need addressing.  


I've been busy testing and putting in bug reports, but complete crashes are non-existent.  Vastly different from the Natty release.

One thing that really puzzles me is that in Nautilus the media tab has been completely removed.  This was the only place where you could disable the "browse media when inserted".  If you're working in command line and insert a USB stick to get some files or do a backup Nautilus will open over your active terminal window and there's no way to stop it.

This has my votes for both the most annoying bug,
 and the most puzzling omission from Oneiric.
