i had this exact problem not too long ago. kde is weird like that. here's what i had to do:
i edited my fstab to include these two identical lines:
/dev/scsi/host0/bus0/target0/lun0/cd /mnt/cdrw auto ro,noauto,user,exec 0 0 /dev/scsi/host0/bus0/target0/lun0/cd /mnt/cdrom auto ro,noauto,user,exec 0 0
/dev/scsi/host0/bus0/target0/lun0/cd /mnt/dvd auto ro,noauto,user,exec 0 0
the cdrom line is for the desktop icon, the dvd line is for k3b (if you're using it). and the cdrw line is for your re-writer.
the next thing you have to do is specifiy the right icon (if you care) so the dvd and cdr icons will be used on your desktop for the right drives:
edit the following files:
/usr/kde/3.1/share/mimelnk/kdedevice/cdrom_mounted.desktop /usr/kde/3.1/share/mimelnk/kdedevice/cdrom_unmounted.desktop
/usr/kde/3.1/share/mimelnk/kdedevice/cdwriter_mounted.desktop /usr/kde/3.1/share/mimelnk/kdedevice/cdwriter_unmounted.desktop
and change the "Icon=" line to be whatever icon you'd like. for my purposes, i used:
dvd_mount dvd_umount cdwriter_mount cdwriter_unmount
and that should be all you need. you may need to run "configure desktop" again and select to un-display those devices then display them again for the new icons to take effect, but it should work.
Another top-poster!
That sounds like a lot of work to me. I stopped KDE from displaying drive icons on the desktop. I wanted floppy and DVD icons though, but all you have to do is right-click on the desktop -> Create New -> Floppy Device, etc. and Bob's your uncle.

Sometimes the most simple, obvious solutions are the last ones I find. Thanks for the answer, it worked just fine.
Thanks, Kent
