It's all distro specific. Here on Mandrake 9.1 I have the CD-ROM icon in
Open/Save dialogs, just above the Floppy. Also, in Konqueror there is a
menu called Devices where you can find all of them.

So I guess you should bug your distro makers to include something like
this. Please remember that KDE runs on a number of different platforms and
operating systems and implementing a common interface for accessing
CD-ROMs / ZIP drive / USB memory etc. would not be trivial.
