This is apparently regarded as a "fix" to broken behaviour:

Personally I think it looks crap.

If you are lucky enough to be root on your system then there is a 
workaround stated in the above link.

If not you will have to be content with disabling the display of volumes 
on your desktop. This won't prevent their appearance in the Nautilus 
side-panel, however.
