Had you mounted it in /srv/ >or /usr/local/ or somewhere in /var it likely wouldn't show up on the >desktop. As currently implemented mounts _in_ those places do appear on the desktop. A mount _on_ /srv wouldn't. There's a hardcoded list of special mount points in gnome-vfs2 that are excluded from appearing on the desktop. But what's special about that list? It's derived from the Filesystem Hierarchy Standard, but the FHS isn't the last word on mount points. It isn't even primarily about mount points. There are some things in the list that are commonly used as mount points (/usr) and some that aren't (/lib). And a hardcoded list is fragile. There's already a Fedora patch to gnome-vfs2 to add some mount points that got left out upstream. I think having a list of specially blessed mount points is bad design. For my purposes I've ripped out the list and replaced it with code that prevents anything in /etc/fstab from appearing on the desktop (patch is in Bugzilla #384201). But that might not suit everyone.
