FC3 disappointment: KsCD locks system; grip; CDROM in general.

[Kim Lux]

Does it run KDE3.3 ??? No.  I need KDE3.3 to run the latest kdevelop.  I
am using it on a project and it is not an option to use something else. 

The issue here isn't ME or Me running FC3.  The issue is that we've
released FC3 with some serious issues in it.  I just had to reboot to
regain access to my cdrom.  Such an event is fine in a test release or
even a release candidate.  It is totally unacceptable in a final
release.
