I can partly see the logic in this; deciding if there's a disk, and if it's
CD or DVD should probably be in  gvf. What's on the disk (DVD or VCD video
files) should probably be in Nautilus.

The dialog should absolutely still be easy to find; the properties dialog
when you right-click the disk on the desktop would be a logical place (and
it should allow you to set actions for all recognisable disk types, not just
whatever happens to be in the drive right now)

The dialog also needs to go back on the "removable drives and media" tab.
That's absolutely a logical place for people to go looking for it.

The gnome developers need to rethink what they're doing. You don't make
gnome more user friendly by removing or hiding all the options, you make it
userfriendly by putting the options in the place that users would most
naturally expect to find them! It doesn't hurt to have a dialog accessable
on two different menus either, if both places are somewhere a user is very
likely to look.
