How do I prevent automatic mounting of my android phone in 13.04? [closed]

gvfs is mounting my phone automatically when I plug it in, I don't want this for various reasons.

How do I disable automatic mounting for this specific device, but continue allowing other USB devices to automount?

Here's the mount after plugging in :

~$ gvfs-mount -l
Drive(0): ST320LT007-9ZV142 Type: GProxyDrive (GProxyVolumeMonitorUDisks2)
Drive(1): HL-DT-ST DVD+/-RW GU60N Type: GProxyDrive (GProxyVolumeMonitorUDisks2)
Drive(2): Generic Ultra HS-SD/MMC Type: GProxyDrive (GProxyVolumeMonitorUDisks2)
Volume(0): Galaxy Nexus Type: GProxyVolume (GProxyVolumeMonitorMTP) Mount(0): Galaxy Nexus -> mtp://[usb:002,020]/ Type: GProxyShadowMount (GProxyVolumeMonitorMTP)
Mount(0): mtp -> mtp://[usb:002,020]/ Type: GDaemonMount

Update Tue May 21 00:03:00 EDT 2013:

I found /usr/share/gvfs/mounts/mtp.mount which contains:

[Mount]
Type=mtp
Exec=/usr/lib/gvfs/gvfsd-mtp
AutoMount=false

Unhappily this AutoMount parameter doesn't seem to do anything.

In the meantime I've followed advice from here and disabled automount-open and automount in the gconf settings under org.gnome.desktop.media-handling. This disables it globally but it's better than the alternative. Here's hoping we'll have device- or protocol-specific (or both!) gvfs automount configuration in the future.
