In my case it was a matter of insert the CD, wait for the system to
finish twiddling its thumbs, open up XMMS, and navigate over
to /media/burner, and pick the tracks.  I haven't set mine to
automatically do anything, I dislike that behaviour.

I think it probably does matter.  Gnome has a GUI for picking what to
automatically do with removable media (including do nothing), it's
called from "gnome-volume-properties".  I'd presume KDE has something
similar, and probably *INSTEAD* of however Gnome presets this, but I
don't use KDE, nor have it installed.  I'm guessing that it changes
something in the ~/.gnome* directories.
