The architectural change that causes this was intentional, but I think the
piling-up of icons is an unintended side effect.
It happens because GVFS cannot access a remote URI without mounting it first,
and there is no logic that I know of to automatically unmount them.
One solution would be for Nautilus to keep track of which mounts it created as
part of "casual" browsing, unmounting those as soon as their contents are not
being shown anywhere. However, that could cause problems for other applications
that might have loaded documents from said mounts.
Yet another possibility would be for Nautilus to leave mounts around in the
background, but only show mounts on the desktop that are local devices or
explicitly mounted through a mount dialog.
A temporary workaround to get the icons out of the way is to set the GConf key
"/apps/nautilus/desktop/volumes_visible" to FALSE using gconf-editor. They will
still be visible in the "Computer" folder, though.
