Is this the same reason that my unmounted partitions show up in the
"places" sidebar? (When using Mandriva 2008.1 RC2.)

My hard drive is partitioned in 4 ("/", "/usr", "/home" for my stable
install, and another "/" for a test install). In 2.22's Nautilus, I see
the first three unmounted volumes. My guess is that I'll see the fourth
from my stable install once I upgrade.

This is kind of annoying. I can understand using "Computer" as a
catch-all, but the places sidebar is a convenience feature. It's not
very convenient when my links (at the bottom) are drowned by a list of
partitions I never want to mount.

(As an aside, I remember the discussion on this list with Fred Crozat
involving /mnt vs. /media - so if this is a Mandriva-specific behavior,
I'll bring it up there.)

In any case, great job getting gvfs/gio up and running in just a year.
