Agreed. I just updated to the latest FC kernel - 2.6.10-1.760FC. I've 
noticed that while running Gnome a CD won't get mounted automagically 
when inserted, "if" I do the mount command, mount -t iso9660 /dev/hdc 
/mnt/cdrecord,  as root user the drive is mounted and as a user then I 
can eject and insert and use the CD drive normally after that. I suspect 
though this is a temporary condition that is only good for this session 
and will likely have to be repeated each time I log into my user session.

CDROM usage as a user in KDE is totally fubar'd and completely useless 
which is why I've started using Gnome full time now.

Just more information for our adhoc knowledge base.
