Public bug reported:
In quantal, a newly connected USB media device is mounted by default in
/media/USERNAME instead of the /media mountpoint used in older releases
(related askubuntu question at
https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/util-
linux/+question/210769). This breaks programs using absolute paths, like
music players (Rhythmbox), photo library management (Shotwell) and
Safely Remove from the unity launcher (the quicklist item does not
appear on partitions of an USB HDD), maybe there are more.
In such cases there should be some sort of migration or at least a
symlink to the old location (as a workaround for files not being found
in photo and/or music libraries), and this default mountpoint change
should also be well documented (see bug #1068277)
