gnome-volume-manager at high cpu

[Clyde E. Kunkel]

I noticed after loading a blank CD-R and then manually ejecting it
without writing to it, top showed the following:

gnome-volume-manager continued to take up cpu > 90%.  I killed the
process and repeated with the same results.  Is this normal?  I haven't
seen gnome-volume-manager in top before this effort.  I am new to Linux
and don't know how to debug this or do any traces.
