no Blank Disc menu item if DVD not mounted

[David Balažic]

Binary package hint: nautilus

If I insert a non-empty DVD+RW, then right click its icon and select Umount, the icon diapperas from desktop.

If I then open "Places/Computer and right click the DVD icon, there is no "Blank Disc..." item in its context menu.

To blank the disk, I must mount it first. That is illogical and unnecessary.

Additionally:
 - if I right click the DVD icon and select Mount, the mount item in the menu changes to Unmount, but the Blank Disc... item does not return, until I close and reopen the Computer window.

Same in ubuntu-10.10-desktop-i386.iso live env. (GNOME 2.32)

Except that there is no Umount item in the menu, so I umount in command line.

Now, with Ubuntu 11.04, I also noticed the Blank item is missing sometimes even when the DVD is mounted.
