OK, I tried it also and K3b indeed complains about not having rights to
unmount the DVD. This is however clearly bogus as the user is able to
unmount and then eject the DVD by using the desktop menu. Unfortunately
I don't know how to add an unmount option to the menu, but I think the
right fix in this case is to teach k3b how to unmount the CD using hal.
