Unfortunately setting blacklist to "['-']" in
com.canonical.Unity.Devices does not work for USB drives, pendrives,
partitions, etc. They are not removed from launchbar. I used dconf
editor to watch the blacklist: it forgets gathered uuids right after
disconnecting external device, so they appear again and again.

I found following workaround: there is
com.canonical.Unity.Launcher.favorites parameter, the same Matpen tried
to remove value 'unity://devices' from. It is enough to move
'unity://devices' to the end. The auto-USB-device icons - 3,5,10,
whatever number is - still appear but at end of launchbar, so they do
not disturb other icons. It is possible icons of new applications, not
pinned to launchbar, can still be added after USB icons, so ensure
'unity://running-apps' and any other value occurs before
'unity://devices'. Unity remembers order of the values, after system
reboot too.

If developers find a time to deal with this problem: IMHO the best
solution is ONE icon, one icon to rule them all... Depending on user
choice it may be pinned to launchbar or appear automatically after
mounting first resource at /media/<user>. Hovering cursor or clicking it
should expand list of all mounted devices to the right to allow to
browse selected one (if more than one). A number of connected media on
the icon would be a nice addition.

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

Status in Unity:
  Confirmed
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.
