Bug Description
After enabling ubuntu-dock in Tweaks, disks get mounted, are shown in Nautilus side bar but the desktop icon is missing.
This leads to the risk of disconnecting a disk that is mounted or write operations are in progress.
How can I enable the feature again that disks that get mounted are shown on the desktop?

I think triaging to gnome-shell- extensions might be the wrong approach in this case.
The icons did appear before and do appear in other installations. It is just on this machine that after enabling ubuntu-dock they do not appear any more (I do not want to verify this behaviour on any other machines as the missing icon leads to dirty unmounts)
There must be a setting somewhere to enable disks again. There used to be a setting in gnome-tweak-tools (but was left out in gnome-tweaks). Also there was a setting in gsettings / dconf which is gone as well.
So the question is: Where does UBUNTU (and not Gnome) store its setting about how to deal with mounted devices?
