I was uncanny. When I first logged it, there they were, half a dozen icons. I removed them, exited saving the session, and logged in again: good, they dissapeared. When I rebooted and logged in again, there they were, back there in the desktop.
That's because drives are automounted at boot time, so merely logging out won't help. Once it's mounted, it's mounted, unless you unmount it - merely removing the icon from the desktop won't do that!
I hate automatisms that can not be disabled. Well... at least your trick disables that behaviour, unless I want some partition mounted by the system automatically.
SuSE assumes that you will want to be able to access windows partitions from linux, so automounts them. Putting "noauto" in fstab lets you take control of the behaviour :-) Glad it worked!
