GNOME does something right

Today I plugged my iPod in, and Rawhide launched Rhythmbox, which chugged along for about half a minute, then crashed. At least it did not wipe the player's database. WTF, I thought I had all auto-run types set to off...

Looks like there were some changes. No more unchecking umpteenth type of crashware.

To compensate for a good thing, they worked extra hard to hide this panel. It's not reacheable from any parts of System menu. File Browser has to be started, and its Preferences adjusted.

UPDATE: The last part is untrue, I missed the right item. Thanks ucc_journal for the correction.

Unfortunately, the behavior regarding the wiping of iPod databases seems to have gone the exact opposite direction on my 3rd-gen Nano.

Well, not quite. rhythmbox and gtkpod can still see the playlist just fine (though the artwork db seems lost to them). Too bad the iPod can't, and iTunes thinks the whole thing needs a restore.

System ▸ Preferences ▸ File Management should bring up the same window - http://library.gnome.org/users/user-guide/stable/nautilus-preferences.html.en lists the same first 5 tabs. Is System->Preferences->Removable Drives and Media still around in Rawhide? http://www.go2linux.org/gnome-volume-properties-control-removable-media-on-gnome
