(Get the code!)
This is the behavior I see on 7.10 i386, current as this comment.
- DVDs inserted prior to KDE launch do not get auto-mounted. They are visible from the "Storage Media" pane in the System menu, and may be mounted or ejected from the right-click Actions menu. Once mounted, they appear on the desktop normally, and may be ejected with a right-click.
- DVDs inserted during a KDE session present the "New medium" dialog which allows a mount. Again, they may be ejected with a right-click.
I think it's confusing to the average user to have media inserted early in the boot process that they then must navigate the KDE System menu to actually mount. It would be nice to have the same "New medium" dialog during KDE startup. I have not tested with Hardy yet, so I can't actually propose this feature request.
