And if we don't remove it, we should at least disable it, otherwise
nautilus create .nautilus-metadata.xml everywhere (like on floppies,
memory stick and W*ndows partitions :((

In the same idea, I think we should disable by default the "show files
in tree" preference : users are not used to it and it will enhance speed
feeling for Nautilus..
