Hide desktop icons for certain mounted volumes

I have fixed and removable disks/volumes and they all show an icon on the desktop. I only want the removable mounts shown.
There is a dconf setting to show/hide icons, but it shows/hides all of them. I want to be selective.
An example of a fixed mount from /etc/fstab:
/dev/disk/by-uuid/some-uuid /mnt/Stuff auto nosuid,nodev,nofail,x-gvfs-show 0 0
How should I change it?
