Comment 2 for bug 1855318

Hi Thomas,
that isn't part of the autofs code or config.
It is a general procedure mostly but not exclusively of the Desktop integration.

You might remember that back in the days when you inserted a CD it got a Icon and potentially started some installer automatically.
That is what those two files define - for example see [1]

This thread [2] discusses how to disable that in gnome.

I hope these hints help.
IMHO that is not a bug in autofs, but if you really think it is please re-open and explain why you think it is.
