Bug Description

I have mounted a partition to /home/jarlath/Videos. This partition still shows up (incorrectly I believe) on the desktop. It is displayed as a media drive. In previous versions of Ubuntu - the drive had to be mounted at /media for this behaviour to occur. Also, when I click 'Places', the Videos bookmark has been replaced with "38.1 GB Media"

/dev/sda1 is my root filesystem
/dev/sda2 is mounted to /home/jarlath/Videos
and I have a swap partition

When I check the properties of the desktop icon it says in the permissions tab that the permissions "could not be determined".

I used the following fstab entry to mount this drive:

UUID=<the-actual-uuid> /home/jarlath/Videos ext3 defaults 0 2

Anyway, just to recap - because this drive is mounted to a folder outside of /media, I believe this icon should not appear.
