For some reason, running Gnome, I do not get automounting of the
Audio CD on a CDROM drive nor Audio CD on a CD/DVD drive at all.
I ran F9, and I see no problems - it works.

This is ONLY for Audio CDs - the DVD movie automatically starts fine,
just not the Audio CD disk.  So something is different on F11.

In side-note, I do not have /media working at all on F11- on F9,
all drives it sees are automatically created in /media and this
does not seem to be the case with F11.

FWIW,
Dan
