Subject: GWorkspace: icons shown on the Desktop even without any 
plugged device

Hello,

- I set the relevant lines with UUID in /etc/fstab:

UUID=793050c4-7577-4f65-9877-596c21d21311 /mnt/CRUCIAL ext4
defaults,noauto,users,rw,nofail 0 0
UUID=5B74-A562 /mnt/CLEPAT vfat defaults,noauto,users,rw,nofail 0 0

- I added and set the mount points '/mnt/CRUCIAL' ans '/mnt/CLEPAT' in
'SystemPreferences/Volumes';
- When a disk is plugged, I can open the relevant View to browse the
disk contents from the icon shown on the desktop and unmount it with
DND on the Recycler: this is the expected behaviour and it works fine.

But it happens that, even without any plugged device, the menu
'Tools/Check Disks... (#E)' still shows all the device icons like in
the following screenshot:

Why?
Something to change in /etc/fstab?
An issue in SystemPreferences or in GWorkspace?
A missing DBus message?

Regards,
Patrick
