I just did a dist-upgrade in testing, and now removable media no longer mounts to the desktop in gnome.
I have a hard drive mounted, and it's always shown up on the desktop, and under "Places" and Computer:/// , etc. Now it's no longer there, it's still mounted, I can go to the mount directory and browse all the files. It's the same for CDs/DVDs. I have /media/cdrom symlinked to the actual CD drive, yet it doesn't show up as removable media anymore.
edit: I just made the discovery that if I put a CD into the drive, it will mount and show up on the desktop and in the places menu like it is supposed to, but if I do it with a DVD it will not.
edit2: Also, when I switch to KDE, a mounted hard drive I have shows up under system:/media, and CDs will show up, but still not DVDs. When I put a CD in the drive under KDE, a dialog pops up asking me what I want to do (copy, open, etc) but no dialog pops up for DVDs.
edit3: So now I've somehow gotten my mounted hard drive to show up under computer:///, but it still doesn't show up under places.
