I looked into manager.c and found the place where nautilus is called. I 
tried to insert some debugging output, but i am unfamiliar with 
changing/compiling debian packages.
I fetched the source package with apt-get source, extracted the tarball, 
edited manager.c, repacked the tarball and invoked dpkg-buildpackage, 
but it gave lots of errors such as:

dpkg-source: cannot represent change to 
gnome-volume-manager-1.2.1.tar.gz: binary file contents changed
dpkg-source: building gnome-volume-manager in 
gnome-volume-manager_1.2.1-1.dsc

Can someone help ?
