@Andrea: I think we should dump blacklisted devices in a file formatted like your ~/.gtk-bookmarks, stored in something like ~/.local/share/unity/device-blacklist. We already have a parser in the files lens for this format hence the reuse.

The gtk-bookmarks file has a format ala:

<uri> [label]
<uri> [label]
...

So for my particular setup it could look like:

$ cat ~/.local/share/unity/device-blacklist
file:///media/Windows7_OS
file:///media/SYSTEM_DRV
$

And the files lens would just parse this file and append it to the Folders category.

Given all this, I don't know if unity supports dragging devices into the launcher yet? So that may be a work item as well.
