Removables devices in KDE 3.5

Hi,
After upgrading KDE to 3.5, I've been experiencing problems when using
removable devices. When a CD or DVD is inserted or when a removable
storage device is attached, a dialog appears asking what to do with
the newly available media (nothing? play in kaffeine? open in
konqueror? , etc.). I'm aware this is a new feature of KDE 3.5 (by
the way, is this configurable?).
However, no matter what option I select in this dialog, I can't access
the device in konqueror using the media:/ URL. The media appears
there (or, if it's a CD/DVD, its label is shown), but I get an error
message stating that the device is already mounted when I click it.
The only way to access CDs, DVDs or removable storage devices in
konqueror is by opening /media/device_name. Besides, I have to
unmount removable storage devices using the command prompt, because
the context menu of its icon at media:/ does not show the option to
safely disconnect it. However, if I unplug the device, its icon
disappears from media:/, as expected.
Any suggestions on what to do to get my removable devices correctly
accessed in media:/ again?
Thanks,
Marcelo
