I have seen something similar. My FC2 seems to works fine on mounting 
CDROM and floppy under Gnome interface, but KDE refuses to do so. Under 
gnome, as soon as I load a CD in tray, an icon pops up in desktop; it 
also has an "Eject..." command that unmount and ejects CD.
I have not found a way to solve this inconvenience and from now on I 
have worked solely under Gnome. :|
