Configure Gnome to Not Open a New Nautilus Window 
When Plug a New Storage Device

I don't like the default behavior of Gnome to open a new nautilus window every time I insert a new disc or plug a new storage device (usb disk).
Here the tip to change the behavior to not open any new window.

You can use gconf-editor. If you don't have this tool, you can select and install the package from synaptic.
Go to /apps/nautilus/preferences
Un-check the 'media_automount_open'



Then do testing by plug a new storage device, for example, a usb disk.
