Public bug reported:
Consider this operation (done on a stock Hardy Live CD):
mkdir -p ~/.tmp/mnt
sudo apt-get install fuseiso # need to use fuseiso since loop-mounting seems
broken on Live CD
fuseiso Desktop/test.iso ~/.tmp/mnt/
In Hardy (unlike earlier versions), this adds an icon to the desktop and
opens a Nautilus popup window, which I do *not* want.
I hear that it is supposed to be this way ONLY if you use a mount point
inside /media - but unfortunately that is not the case.
Please add a mount option to mount "silently", like
mount -o donotshow
Another option would be that if the mount point starts with a dot, then
the volume is mounted without adding an icon to the desktop and without
opening a Nautilus popup window.
(Globally disabling desktop icons and opening windows is *not* an
option, i need a way to do this per mount point.)
Use case:
The klik project (klikclient.googlecode.com) packages individual applications
inside ISO files. Each time you launch an application, an ISO is silently
mounted, from which the application then runs. This worked fine until now, but
now in Hardy the Nautilus popup windows and desktop icons are very confusing.
There should be a way for klik to specify that no such icons and windows are
opened.

Should be a way to mount silently (no desktop icon, no window opening)
