Maybe there should be more integration beetween kdeautorun and mountwatcher
then. In my opinion, it will be perfect if "devices:/" would be automagically
updated when you insert a cdrom/dvd.

What you describe can be done in it. Then it will be available on the desktop
or in an applet easily since the code already exists.

I think that "devices:/" is the way to go. It's the best compromise, and for
those who want to popup something on insertion thay only have to monitor
"devices:/" with a KDirLister.

Regards.
