On investigation, it seems that if you open system settings and then
click on "Removable Media", Down the bottom there's a checkbox 'Never
prompt or start programs on media insertion'.

If this is unchecked Nautilus will not open a file view for a USB
pendrive or other device when it is plugged in.  This is not obvious
when coming from earlier versions, because it was separate to "removable
media" and a setting in Nautilus itself.
