Bug#354582: Nautilus does not list fstab devices in computer:///

That's why a lot of users are switching to gnome: easy usability.

You know... Nobody want to see they drives in a place named "computer",
that is confusing. What users want (specially newbies from windows) is
going to /etc/fstab, look in a manual what's the difference between sda
and hdb and all that crap, look the mountpoints, and go to that place
using nautilus. Nautilus is crap anyway. we should replace it with bash.

I am packaging a live debian distro, a thing that tries to improve
usability of debian for newbies. It gererates the fstab, and
configurates all the system. But I will have to put a red advertence in
the box "YOUR DISKS LIVE IN /MNT; YOU WINDOWS MORON". That will help.

Regards
