[Bug 44411] Wish: Option to only have desktop icons for just removable volumes and home folder

[Joseph Garvin]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: nautilus

(This bug should probably be marked as wishlist but may be good for
usability)

99% of the time the files I'm working with and probably most users are
working with are in their home folder, or on removable media (when they
plug in their pen drive or ipod, or put in a CD). Most users should
never need to venture into their root filesystem. So I think it would be
nice to have the only 'volume' icons on the desktop by default be the
users home folder, and removable media. Non-removable media like their
hard disk should be excluded. Unfortunately, there's no easy way to do
this currently -- you can use gconf-editor to set a nautilus setting to
toggle having icons for _all volumes_, but not for just removable ones.

** Affects: nautilus (Ubuntu)
       Severity: Normal
       Priority: (none set)
         Status: Unconfirmed
