Please describe the problem:
As per a conversion with halfline on #gnome, gnome-volume-manager still provides several preferences both via its GUI and in gconf that are basically no-ops. Mounting of devices is now handled by Nautilus, not by g-v-m, but g-v-m's preferences still exist in gconf ( desktop / gnome / volume_manager ) and in gnome-volume-preferences (or whatever the config GUI app is called) which is still visible in GNOME Control Center.

This is confusing, as it exposes configuration options to the user that do not actually work. You uncheck the boxes for "automatically mount removable media" and "automatically mount removable drives", yet they carry on being mounted.

Apparently nautilus has not entirely superseded g-v-m yet, as its more advanced options (like 'do X when a mouse / Pocket PC / Palm / something else is plugged in') aren't done by nautilus (or anything else). I haven't tested if they still actually work via g-v-m.

This gives three possible courses of action:

1. Keep both Nautilus and g-v-m, drop the preferences and code from g-v-m for the stuff that's now handled by Nautilus, and make sure the rest of the stuff works.

2. Drop g-v-m, and make Nautilus or something else do all the stuff it currently does.

3. Drop g-v-m and ignore the functionality it had and nothing else does.

Thanks!
