Dear Maintainer,
*** Please consider answering these questions, where appropriate ***

   * What led up to the situation?

Created a testuser - adduser testuser which belongs only to the group testuser,
no plugdev/floppy/cdrom/disk/etc . But once logged in as testuser in Gnome - it
is possible to mount usb stick, which should not be the case

   * What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or
     ineffective)?

adduser testuser
login to Gnome as testuser

   * What was the outcome of this action?

testuser is capable of mounting usb stick

   * What outcome did you expect instead?

he should not be capable of mounting usb stick
