Media devices icons are not appeared on gnome desktop

[Rodd Clarkson]

John,

I'm running the current rawhide (including the gnome-vfs2 update last
night) and I'm still seeing weirdness in all this.

The device now appears in Computer and also in the disk mounter applet,
but when I stick media in the device (for example a DVD/CD drive) the
disk mounts but Computer and disk mounter applet show the same thing.
Also, no icon appears on the desktop for the drive.

I get a message that says:

-------------------------------------------------------------------
Unable to mount the selected volume.

v Show more details

mount: block device /dev/hdc is write-protected, mounting read-only
mount: /dev/hdc already mounted or /media/cdrecorder busy
mount: according to mtab, /dev/hdc is already mounted
on /media/cdrecorder

							[ OK ]
-------------------------------------------------------------------


A quick look at df -h shows:

[rodd at localhost ~]$ df -h
Filesystem            Size  Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/sda9             9.5G  5.0G  4.1G  55% /
/dev/shm              506M     0  506M   0% /dev/shm
/dev/sda6              29G   14G   14G  50% /home
/dev/sda7             7.6G  318M  6.9G   5% /var/www
/dev/hdc              5.6G  5.6G     0 100% /media/cdrecorder

and I can access the DVD from the command line (or even using CTRL-L on
the desktop or in a FileChooser), but gnome doesn't seem to be detecting
it properly.

Finally, the disk in the drive is a DVD.  When I open Totem and click
File I see the DVD drive as an option to play.  However, when I click on
the option, I get the following dialog:

-------------------------------------------------------------------

Failed to play Audio/Video Disc

Failed to find mountpoint for device /dev/hdc in /etc/fstab

							[ OK ]
-------------------------------------------------------------------

but a quick look at /etc/fstab shows:

/dev/hdc                /media/cdrecorder       auto    pamconsole,exec,noauto,managed 0 0

I'm off to file a bug, (hoving written it up) but I thought others might
be interested in this problem as I suspect I'm not alone.
