Gnome 3 Removeable media settings.

[Chuck Smith <cgasmith comcast net>]

Under system settings the "do nothing" for removable media is not 
working. Case, I'm using an FC16 platform with Gnome 3, to program 
usb/sd/cf devices. Once inserted they will pop up a the bottom of the 
desktop asking to mount/eject the device. This behavior interferes with 
operations to the devices being accessed and consequently blocks the 
lower third of the desktop from being usable.
Is there a gconf tool setting to rip the guts out of the service that is 
notifiying  user space on change/insertion of media when its not suppose 
to do anything per system settings.  Or do I have to switch desktops?
