Bug Description
In my kde 3.5.0 and 3.5.1 running on Kubuntu 5.10 I have a problem with media:/ feature and floppy.
By default, when I enter media:/ (or, system:/media) , it shows an icon for my floppy. I insert a floppy, and click on the floppy icon to mount it and view the contents.
The path in address bar changes to media:/fd0, but the contents of the
floppy do not get displayed.
The floppy DOES get mounted at the click of the floppy icon in media:/ , on /media/fd0/ and I can see the contents if I go there.
There is no way to unmount it through media:/ , as you would expect.
The behaviour does not change depending on the /etc/fstab line; I have this one currently:
/dev/fd0 /media/fd0 auto rw,user,noauto 0 0
but I might as well have none there: the behaviour does not change.
I THINK THIS IS QUITE IMPORTANT USABILITY BUG, SINCE MEDIA:/ IS A DEFAULT WAY OF REACHING DISKS AND PARTITIONS FROM MANY PROGRAMS IN KDE.

Hello
I can confirm this problem.
It reproduces on KUbuntu 5.10 with installed KDE 3.5.1 and on Kubuntu Dapper Flight 4 (KDE 3.5 by default).
Older Flight CDs not tested.
It does not occur on previous releases with KDE 3.4
My fstab line (On 5.10) looks OK:
/dev/fd0 /media/floppy0 auto rw,user,noauto 0 0
The problem does not seem to be Hardware dependend (occurs on an old Athlon 800MHz as well as on a new P4 3GHz).
I do not have any other Distributions with installed KDE 3.5 so I don't know if it is a general KDE 3.5 problem.
This problem is VERY critical for some people without that much Linux knowledge (Isn't that one of Ubuntu's target groups?).
