Bug Description
Example 1: If you are copying CD/DVD with Nautilus and you have only single optical drive, Nautilus creates an image of source media, then ejects CD and asks for blank one. When you insert it, a "blank media" dialog appears on top asking if you want to burn data or music CD - but it's certain you want neither. At that moment you want it to do nothing or better to recognize if inserted media is proper one and eject or start burning it.
Example 2: If you are changing partitions on USB disk with gparted ("Gnome partition editor") and you use it to unmount that partitions, g-v-m and HAL keep mounting them always when gparted re-scans device - that can be very annoying if you need it unmounted...
gparted already disables automount. Nautilus DVD/CD copy operations should do the same by using the HAL locking API to supress CD automount.
