Public bug reported:

Currently if you plug in a removable device it is mounted and shown on
all users desktops, even though only the user who plugged it in can
access the device. this breaks for example if you plug in a device
before you use the switch user function and want to access the device
with the new user. This bug is even worse if you work in a big multiuser
environment like a ltsp setup with many thin clients and users, in the
case 50 users plug in 50 devices on 50 thin clients you end up having 50
icons on the desktop (imagine a user who didnt even plug in *any* device
but wants to do his work sitting in front of such a desktop :) )
