automount-open=false is not honored for USB drives

[Qianqian Fang]

I run Ubuntu 14.04 and xfce4.

I have two partitions mounted via USB. Every time when I wake up the computer from suspension, two Thunar windows pop up, it is quite annoying as I suspend/wake the computer quite often (5-10 times) during the day.

I googled, and some people suggested changing the automount-open setting in

org -> gnome -> desktop -> media-handling

using dconf-editor. I unchecked the automount-open option, but nothing was changed. two windows pop up as before.

At work, I have an external drive mounted to my computer via eSATA, it does not have this annoying issue, and the drive is used just like an internal drive.

What setting do I need in order to make USB drive behave like an eSATA drive? in other words, do automount, but not opening in a file browser.

that setting will only affect GNOME and Unity DE's.
XFCE will have its own handling (and settings) for handling removable media.

then can you tag this bug to xfce? thanks
