If you're using Gnome, open the "System" menu, then go to
"Preferences-->Personal-->File Management" and open the "Media" tab.
You can select actions for the various kind of removable media.  Either
set each to "Do Nothing" or select the "Never prompt or start programs 
on media insertion" option near the bottom.

In KDE, I don't know, but I'm sure there's something similar.
