This problem lies in the interaction between Nautilus and HAL, not in fstab. Nautilus asks HAL to be notified of mounted volumes, and so creates icons for it if it thinks they are special. In gconf-editor, you can disable the option /apps/nautilus/desktop/volumes_visible. However, that will also have the effect of not making USB flash drives visible on the desktop (and will not remove them from the side page of Nautilus browser windows). You've reached the extent of my knowledge in this matter. Sorry I don't have a better answer.
