value for custom mountpoint not checked

[Ralf Sternberg]

Binary package hint: nautilus

Steps to reproduce:
* On the desktop icon for a mounted USB drive, open the properties dialog via context menu.
* In tab "Drive", it's possible to specify a custom mount point.
* If the mountpoint entered contains illegal characters, such as file separator chars, neither a warning is issued, nor is the illegal value rejected.
* If a user enters a mountpoint like e.g. "/media/player" by mistake, the drive cannot be mounted anymore because:
  * When the drive is attached again, an error dialog appears ("cannot mount volume", details contain a hint about illegal chars in the mount point)
  * As the drive is not mounted, the properties dialog cannot be accessed to edit the mountpoint
  * There is no obvious way to revoke the broken mountpoint (only using gconf-editor)

Suggested solution:
Validate the mountpoint entered in the properties dialog and reject illegal values immediately.
