What I understood is that Nautilus finds devices that the user should be
able to mount (string 'user' or owner, I think, on /etc/fstab, such as
Floppy, Cdrom, etc...[1]).

That way, nautilus will never find how to mount usb/compact flash by it
self, requiring a slight change to /etc/fstab (I may be wrong, if so
don't flame, please correct me).

[1] actually, nautilus has a problem if mount happens to be interactive
and requests for a password (such as in crypto fs's)
