This is just a bug in gnome-mount when it's trying to mount something
that is already mounted. It's g-v-m racing against nautilus, both trying
to mount media. Just uninstall g-v-m or disable automounting in g-v-m.

(I'll try to fix gnome-mount. Thanks for the stack trace)

Yeah, it's still used. For gvfs for 2.24 I hope to replace it with
native D-Bus calls in the gvfs hal backend...

Works for me and all the Fedora Rawhide installations I've seen;
probably a distro / configuration problem?

I prefer this too. Also because it's what will happen if you double
click the icon in the file chooser...
