Thats what I mean with hotplug devices. You can rename the bug to 
Nautilus does not list non-removable devices in computer:///
My cd drive is not listed in the fstab.

If it is stupid, don't write it in the README.debian
Anyway that file is outdated since --retain-privileges is not used
anymore.

Exactly that. sda* and hda* appears in the desktop, but removables
dissapear.
I think killing hald cuts the comunnication with gnome-vfs-daemon. If I
kill that process it starts again. Then fixed discs disappear and
removables returns as when the gnome session was started.

sda6 is a fixed sata drive. the results are the same with hda* and hdb*
(my fstab is quite long so I send you only a line as example).
I'm working in a live cd, so users can mount disks by hand. However,
removing the flag, or changing the mount point to /media don't work.

with this fstab of mt other computer, it didn't work:
/dev/hda1 /media/hda1 ntfs auto,exec,ro,umask=000 0 0
/dev/hda5 /mnt/hda5 xfs auto,exec 0 0
/dev/hda7 /mnt/hda7 reiserfs auto,exec 0 0
/dev/hda8 /mnt/hda8 vfat auto,user,umask=000 0 0
