Thanks, this helped some. After googling some more I couldn't find a way
of disabling the icon, unfortunately - the "old" way from fedora didn't
work (disabling in hal .fdi file), as well as "new" way (disabling in
udev). There are various reports of it being a bug in udisks subsystem,
there are bugs filled at least for fedora and ubuntu and they are in
open state everywhere.
