IIRC this was only removed from the file chooser and not computer:///,
correct? E.g. computer:/// should still show a drive that is not
mounted. We really really need this because 

 1. you want to be able to remount a volume
 2. maybe you are not privileged to access a volume
 3. maybe the volume is password protected

I'm aware that Mac OS X doesn't work this way but they don't have
functionality in the UI for any of this.
