Logging in into the gnome desktop will show all attached USB disks on the desktop using the USB icon. Because I don't like to unmount the disks each time when logging in, I could get rid from this feature in F10 by using the System->Preferences->Authorizations menu.
How to do achieve this in F11 beta?
The easiest way is to install gconf-editor. Then go to /apps/nautilus/preferences and ...
- uncheck media_automount
- uncheck media_automount_open
- check media_autorun_never
Allen,
your reply was very helpful so I got rid from mounting the usb disks. Thanks.

IMO these are generally good things to do no matter what.
You can also do the same things by hand-editing the corresponding gconf.xml file, but I find the GUI editor a lot easier (and less prone to typos).
Note that these are per-user settings. If you want to make them mandatory system-wide, then you do have to resort to hand editing.
Back in F9 days, you used to be able to tell hal not to notify Gnome when a medium was inserted. Now Gnome checks on its own. Argh.
