A lot of the new Nautilus settings are buried in GConf. If you could
write up what you did to make it "usable" again, that would make a great
FAQ.

Can you write this up in a generic sense? This would make another great
FAQ. By the way, this was exactly what I was going for. My latest
addition to this feature will only show icons for mount points that you
own. Therefore, if you also added /usr/home/marcus/mnt/cdrom to fstab,
klammer should not see that mount.

Why? I unmounted (and ejected) a CD just two days ago. Nautilus uses
cdcontrol to eject a CD. Does that not work for you?

I'm not sure, I haven't seen it before (probably because I never
looked). I'll investigate.
