Bug Description

If I insert in my CD-RW drive a CD labelled "1", then click on the diskmounter
applet, the 2 choices I get will be "Open CD-RW(null) Drive" and "Eject
CD-RW(null) Drive". In Hoary, the choices would be the nicer "Open 1" and
"Eject 1".

hum, is this bug about using the disk name instead of the drive's name?

When there is no CD in the drive, it doesn't appear in the computer place. WHen
I put a CD in there, and it is automatically mounted, it display the label of
the CD; that's for the Computer place obtained from the gnome menu. If I go in
"Computer" using Nautilus, it is displayed as "CD-RW(null) Drive: label" where
"label" is the label of the CD I inserted.
