Not true. You can turn on or off the features of magicdev from the
GNOME control center. ("CD Properties" capplet)

If you want the automounting without the icons, well, we don't have
that feature, though it would be trivial to add, but it sounds like
what you real want to do is simply not run GMC.

Either in a GMC window select "Commands/Exit", or, run
'session-properties' select 'gmc' and then press 'Remove'.
