As noted by aeromojito, this bug popped up in the betas and continued till
final. Also as noted by aeromojito, this bug prevented automounting of flash
drives, can't say about DVDs though. I have no floppy drive, my bad when I
posted above that I do. I've disabled the floppy in the BIOS and the
/dev/fd0 entry in /etc/fstab, and the bug is gone, and gvfs-volume-manager
doesn't crash any longer, and my flash drives automount again (after
Karmic). Yay!
