Ok, it's not a big problem for me - I would only prefer that the icon appears
on the desktop when I insert a cdrom. I would make a wishlist entry in the
kde bug tracking system regarding this feature - if it doesn't mind you

Don't know if a process still used the device, but I definitly closed all
windows on my kde desktop (including konqueror, which indeed pointed to
the /mnt/cdrom/ before). However I cannot reproduce this behavior at the
