While it is possible to blacklist UUIDs as described in this stackoverflow answer:
http://askubuntu.com/a/195998 It's not possible to prevent new (i.e. USB, Disc ) devices from showing up in the launcher automatically. The experimental-tab / possibility to disable all devices in CompizConfig Settings Manager (CCSM) stated in the second answer isn't available in my version of compizconfig-settings-manager (0.9.10) on Ubuntu 13.10. http://askubuntu.com/a/62015 A generic solution to disable the devices would really be appreciated. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of DX Packages, which is subscribed to unity in Ubuntu.

This takes up a lot of extra space for me as I usually have several Samba mounts. Furthermore, I don't need or want to see my CD in the launcher. I can click right on the mounted devices and select "Unlock from launcher", but the next time I insert a CD they're back. Disabling this "feature" should be an option in 12.10. I believe it was an option in 12.04 via CCSM. Thanks.
