[Solved] Former dir links shown as removable devices

Hello,

After upgrading xfce 4.6 to 4.8, some links which was pointing directories changed to '.desktop' files and removable devices which ofc. disappear when I disable removable media in desktop options.
On my desktop were other links pointing to dirs in '/home/xxx/' and they have changed only to '.desktop' files.

On 4.6 'System' was pointing '/', 'Download' was pointing '/home/xxx/download'. And I don't why device "Dane" is appearing.

When I try to open it I get error

Couldn't mount "Download"
Authentication is required

here is 'mount' output

$ mount

If it makes any difference I am using Gentoo Linux

Edit:

I forgot to add that I've removed all folders in my home dir containing 'xfce4' or 'thunar' and remerged (reinstalled) xfce4-meta and all related packages with --noconfmem option (former config files are overwritten by default configuration) but still I can see that 3 removable devices which you can see on screenshoots.

Edit 2 (the solution):

This removable devices are NTFS partitions from WinXP... I forgot that I have it installed on my computer perhaps because I don't remember when did I boot it last time.
Anyway in xfce 4.6 they were visible after I enabled viewing File Systems in desktop options. Why they are interpreted as removable devices now I have no idea..
The solution to keep them invisible is from http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-84 … rt-75.html written by "Guayasil":

$ cat /etc/udev/rules.d/99-hide-disks.rules
KERNEL=="sda1", ENV{UDISKS_PRESENTATION_HIDE}:="1"
KERNEL=="sda3", ENV{UDISKS_PRESENTATION_HIDE}:="1"
KERNEL=="sda4", ENV{UDISKS_PRESENTATION_HIDE}:="1"
# and so on for other disks.
