Dapper: Rename desktop device icons

Unfortunately, I'm also afraid that it will stay like this.

It really looks stupid that my Breezy partition in /media/ubuntu/breezy
shows up as "/" !!!

Today I had my very first confusing experience with this: I wanted to
search for a file that is on my root filesystem in Dapper (mounted as /
). Well, I just went to Places > Search for Files... chose "/" as the
directory to search and after hitting "Find" no results were
returned....

Until I realised that "/" was searching on /media/ubuntu/Breezy. In
order to search within the Filesystem root, I had to choose
"Filesystem" form the list! I know that is the actual behaviour, but it
can be a bit confusing when device names show up as "/". So what happens
if I've got a Breezy (/media/ubuntu/breezy) and a Hoary
(/media/ubuntu/hoary) installation in different partitions? Will they
both show up as "/" on the desktop and in nautilus?

I'm gonna add a comment to the bug now...

Cheers.
