When I add mounted DVD and unmount they show with red X. Inserting dvd does nothing. Also shown are create data dvd with k3b and video dvd with k3b. When I insert dvd never get this menu. > Sorry if this sounds a bit > patronising but these things happen sometimes, it took me ages to find out > how to undo default auto-actions.

Another thing I found today is if I su to root, mount the dvd (/dev/hdc /media/dvdrecorder it mounts read only and then I can see the dvd by using Konquer, going to /media/dvdrecorder. but the icon does not show up on desktop or under my computer. Could it be some kind of permissions problem? Thanks for your input. I do have a bug report open.
