Bug Description
When attaching any form of removal storage (such as a USB stick, or external HDD), Ubuntu places an icon to such devices on both the launcher and desktop.
This is pointless, as there is no reason for there to be two icons. Ubuntu should ideally place file system links on the launcher, and not the desktop, by default.

Agreed, it's pointless when Unity is running, but has a lot of point when it's not - so Nautilus needs to be aware Unity is running and not display the icon on the desktop.
