I've been wondering the very same thing about that eject function. For crying out loud, if a user is requesting the CD be ejected just unmount it already! You don't exactly need a UI team to hold a meeting about it. Oddly enough, on Kubuntu when you select eject it will unmount it automatically.
Anyhow, being kind of sick of dealing with the silly CD user interface in KDE I went and wrote up a little shell script of my own for use with KDE. I give it a button on kicker, and it works exactly like "it should"(tm). No CD in the drive when you click on it, it ejects the drive. Click with a CD in the drive, and it'll do one of 3 things based on what is on there: 1: Data CD will mount to $USER/mnt/cdrom and open Konq to that directory 2: Audio CD will start up KSCD and start to play the thing 3: DVD will start up KMPlayer to play it. If the CD is mounted or the CD/DVD is playing when clicked, this script will then: 1: Data CD will unmount. 2: Audio/DVD will kill the default player. 3. When ready, it'll eject the disk. I've been meaning to write up some dialogs to allow for multiple actions. Like an audio CD in there might want to play or rip. I haven't done anything to account for a blank CD for recording. Pretty much only wrote up enough to deal with what I felt was missing for dealing with optical media. The one big thing missing that I haven't figured out how to do here is how to change my little launcher icon on Kicker to show the device being mounted or not. Not a big deal with CD's, but I have a similar script for flash drives. Anyhow, I thought I'd offer this up to the list, and to see what folks thought of it.
