Public bug reported:
In previous versions of Nautilus there was always a "Media" tab present in
Nautilus' Edit > Preferences window. Under the Media tab there was a setting to
"Never prompt or start programs on media insertion".
Here's a screenshot of the Media tab from ubuntu-10.04:

In addition to the Media tab being absent in 11.10, there are also no
settings in the gconf-editor nor dconf-editor programs that allow
disabling AutoPlay/AutoRun. Previously, users could find a
"media_automount_open" setting using the Configuration Editor (gconf-
editor) found at /apps/nautilus/preferences. Disabling this setting
would turn off AutoPlay/AutoRun.
For security reasons especially, users need a way to disable
AutoPlay/AutoRun from occurring when media are mounted/inserted.
two regressions:
1. missing Media tab in Nautilus' Edit > Preferences
2. missing /apps/nautilus/preferences with "media_automount_open" setting in
the Configuration Editor
