Bug Description
Binary package hint: gvfs
If I have multiple users logged in to my machine at any one time (using fast-user-switch) - when I plug in a USB drive (or any removable device) or insert a CD, Nautilus opens a window on the desktop of every user logged in. If I unmount and remount the removable device several times (or eject and insert multiple CD's), I get one Nautilus window per mount/unmount (or per CD) appear on all the inactive users desktops.
Unfortunately, because I run the NVIDIA binary drivers, all the Nautilus windows which appear on the inactive users desktop appear white, which can make the desktop virtually unusable when that user switches back to themselves again.
Nautilus should only open a window on the active session.
Steps to reproduce:
1) Log in user A
2) Using fast-user-switch, switch to user B
3) User B inserts a USB pen drive or CD. Nautilus appears.
4) Using fast-user-switch, switch back to user A - there is also a Nautilus window on user A's desktop (or, in my case - a white box)

I can confirm this issue on my setup. It is a particular problem when inserting media such as DVDs, since they autoplay on all users simultaneously.
