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 ...
1. uncheck media_automount 2. uncheck media_automount_open 3. check media_autorun_never
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.

media_automount is not used by nautilus anymore, afaics. The other two are conveniently available in the media tab of the nautilus preferences...

That is not true. Gnome in F11 relies on DeviceKit-disks for this purpose.
