I am having quite a few concerns about this - however I migt verry well
not fit the average user profile...

In day to day work I have quite a few (above 10) "removable media mounts",
mostly SMB-shares. Allthough I do *use* these shares I have no need for
them all to be on the desktop. 
I'd really prefer a "Computer" view that allowed me to easily put
shortcuts on the desktop.

An alternative to this would be to have an option to not show removable
shares - but I do feel that this *is* a good feature (i.e. that new
removable shares appear on the desktop).

Just my two cents..
