[Hardy] gnome-volume-properties should also manage CDs

[Dave Gilbert]

Binary package hint: gnome-volume-manager

The menu item System->Preferences->Removable Drives and Media Preferences
seems to run gnome-volume-properties however this doesn't handle any removable drives
or media for me; it has 4 tabs; Cameras, PDAs, Printers & Scanners, Input Devices

I eventually found what happens to CDs in Nautilus's preferences - but that means the preferences
menu item is wrong - and IMHO there shouldn't be two places which deal with these things - or
possibly the menu item is just running completely the wrong thing since none of the items
shown are actually media or volumes.

gnome-volume-manager 2.22.1-1ubuntu4

Another way to see this: the menu entry is misleading: it doesn't deal with any drives, but with Media and Devices (mouses, printers!)

Same here.
"Removable Drives" implies flash drives and CDs, and is very misleading. I couldn't even find out where these preferences were until I read the above comments (Thanks, Dave!)

Here's a screenshot of my setup. As you can see, there's no CD / drive tabs like there were in Gutsy.
