It used to be something in System>Prefs which allowed to manage
removable devices... It seems that this has disappeared!

Install gconf-editor

Then in apps>nautilus>pref

untick:  media_automount_open

tick: media_autorun_never


Previous tool was handy, that's why they have removed it...

Be careful with gconf editor, in case of mistake you could waste a lot
of time to recover...
