Title:
  No way to disable AutoPlay/AutoRun on media insertion

Status in “nautilus” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  In previous versions of Nautilus there was always a "Media" tab present in Nautilus' Edit > Preferences window. Under the Media tab there was a setting to "Never prompt or start programs on media insertion".
  Here's a screenshot of the Media tab from ubuntu-10.04: http://i.imgur.com/uegjv.png

  In addition to the Media tab being absent in 11.10, there are also no
  settings in the gconf-editor nor dconf-editor programs that allow
  disabling AutoPlay/AutoRun. Previously, users could find a
  "media_automount_open" setting using the Configuration Editor (gconf-
  editor) found at /apps/nautilus/preferences. Disabling this setting
  would turn off AutoPlay/AutoRun.

  For security reasons especially, users need a way to disable
  AutoPlay/AutoRun from occurring when media are mounted/inserted.

  two regressions:
  1. missing Media tab in Nautilus' Edit > Preferences
  2. missing /apps/nautilus/preferences with "media_automount_open" setting in the Configuration Editor
