While it is possible to blacklist UUIDs as described in this
stackoverflow answer:

http://askubuntu.com/a/195998

It's not possible to prevent new (i.e. USB, Disc ) devices from showing
up in the launcher automatically.

The experimental-tab / possibility to disable all devices in
CompizConfig Settings Manager (CCSM) stated in the second answer isn't
available in my version of compizconfig-settings-manager (0.9.10) on
Ubuntu 13.10.

http://askubuntu.com/a/62015

A generic solution to disable the devices would really be appreciated.

Title:
  Unity always shows all devices in launcher when CD is inserted

Status in “unity” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  In Ubuntu 12.10 the default behavior when inserting a CD (or a USB
  memory stick, etc.) is to add a list of mounted devices to the
  launcher.  This takes up a lot of extra space for me as I usually have
  several Samba mounts.  Furthermore, I don't need or want to see my CD
  in the launcher.

  I can click right on the mounted devices and select "Unlock from
  launcher", but the next time I insert a CD they're back.  Disabling
  this "feature" should be an option in 12.10.  I believe it was an
  option in 12.04 via CCSM.   Thanks.
