Comment:
Thanks Martin for showing how to do the HAL policy. Don't you mean we
set those to 'true' for the ones we don't want to be displayed. My NTFS
partition (/windows) is displayed and the policy file is set to false
for NTFS.

I'm goint to try just taking the rules for the VFAT and NTFS fs types
out, with the assumption that it will result in VFAT and NTFS partitions
mounted only in /media or /mnt being be displayed.

I really think having a single mount point (/media) for all the
automatically listed volumes is the way to go. I intentionally mounted
my windows drive as /windows to avoid it displaying on the desktop. I
agree with Jan that it would be ok for it to show on the
Places/Computer. Perhaps a future feature would be a context menu of
"Hide from desktop" for volumes gnome-vfs puts there.
