Cutting edge! related question

Hi all ! I have some questions about gnome..

I installed Gnome 2.14 & kernel 2.16 in testing...

1) after installing gnome 2.14... do i need to stay with testing in pacman.conf... There a way to control that only gnome 2.14 related package from testing are installed... for example, i dont want that a "foo" package no related to gnome will install from testing.
Note.. i dont want all warning about newer version when "pacman -Syu"

2) there is a way to control witch volume is mounted on desktop !

Explanation : I want my dvd, cd, firewire, usb on desktop.. but i dont want my windows partition mounted by default on desk... (nut i want them in "Computer")

It is related to Dbus, hal or gnome volume manager ???
where i configure this ?

3) there is a way to start automatically XGL with gnome when user logon with gdm

1.Best to stick with testing, IMO. Always review the package upgrade list produced by pacman -Syu before proceeding. If you don't want the testing version of package foo, cancel the upgrade, and start again with

pacman -Syu --ignore foo

2/3. I don't use them - I'm sure someone else does though.
