Public bug reported: Suppose there are 2 users foo & bar. foo logs in and the external usb disk is auto-mounted under /media/foo/... . Now foo logs out and bar logs in. The disk is still mounted under /media/foo/... and as a consequence clicking on the unity-launcher for that disk icon launches gedit instead of nautilus (or 'Files' - whatever you want to call it) with an error message which is of course 'don't have permissions etc etc'...I've had this problem since 12.10 if I'm not mistaken...
