I don't know how GNOME is handling any of this these days, and I can't
remember how KDE handled it before I configured it to suit myself. Some
things pop up, most things don't. It just depends. Configurability is good.
Automatically having *every* blessed thing open in something is probably bad.

I generally agree with the people who say it should give me an icon somewhere
at least. Even I have no idea where things are without an icon, unless I
mount the stuff by hand. In this new age where plugging things in actually
does low level magic stuff, I have no idea where anything goes without help
from my GUI. (Or digging around tediously by hand, but who wants to futz
with that? Just because we're studio people instead of more common lusers
doesn't mean even command line dweebs like me want to go digging around by
hand to figure out where something got mounted.)

Ok. So here's the final word on this specific question.

* NO apps will be auto launched when you insert a disk. (users will
set what ever they want)
* No volumes will be mounted on the desktop, but will be accessible
through Nautilus.

Fin.

One of the things we are pondering changing, is what happens when you insert a disk, whether it be blank or containing data, and what happens when you connect removable devices, such as cameras etc. To get an idea of the options we are considering changing, open the system menu, go to preferences, and choose "Removable Drives and Media".

So for example, if you wanted K3B to be used for both audio and data disks, we would change the settings to load K3B, instead of using nautilus or serpentine.
