I have experienced this also (SuSE 9.1, KDE 3.2).  Sometimes it is resolved by 
closing a KONQ  file manager window.  However, at other times, ALL KONQ 
windows are closed,  but KSYSGUARD process monitor shows an active KONQUEROR 
process.  I think this is normal for my systems since I believe there is a 
KDE option to preload KONQUEROR.  Yet,   KILLing that last instance of 
KONQUEROR allows the CDROM to open simply by pressing the CDROM button to 
open the tray.  UMOUNT isn't necessary at this point, but does work in any 
case.

So my experience is that sometimes when KONQ is used as a file manager to view 
files on a CDROM, the CDROM remains "attached" (I don't know how else to put 
it) to KONQUEROR even though no file manager windows are open.
