Ok,

Here is a somewhat useless question that reflects my laziness (or maybe my unwillingness to remove my hands from my keyboard and mouse).

I just installed RedHat 7.1 (previously running 7.0) and I notice that when I right click on one of my CD-ROM icons on my KDE desktop, that there is no eject option as there was in RedHat 7.0. I liked this feature because it automatically unmated the CD-ROM and ejected it in one go.

Is there any way to get this back or should I get used to the idea of pressing the stupid button on the CD-ROM?

I'm usually doing something in the terminal, so while I'm there I just type 'eject cdrom', and it just pops out. I never really tried to click on the desktop to do it.

I'm sure there's a way to add that feature to your desktop menu. Try to figure out where the values in that menu come from. Try the control-panel first and see if there's any clues in there.

I've just tried this in RH7.1 and it is great (i've just killed 20 mins playing .. in and out , in and out )



This from 'eject --help'

Parameter <name> can be a device file or a mount point.

If omitted, name defaults to `cdrom'.

By default tries -r, -s, -f, and -q in order until success.

FNC, I had a look at K Menu Edit, but there does'nt seem to be a way to edit desktop icon menus.
