Hmm, I thought resmgr handles the permissions you have for a device
like DVD-ROM etc., so it could give tools like "eject" the permission to
umount a DVD. Ok, looks like I was wrong :-)

Ok, that works, and my "eject" command now is some alias, calling halmount
first and then eject. Thanks for that hint! I guess it would make sense
to patch such a dbus-call into the eject-binary, wouldn't it? So that
eject would work with ivman out of the box (I wish I was skilled enough
to patch that myself :-)).
