CD Icon doesn't disappear on eject
Hi everyone,
I'm using gnome and I have the problem mentioned in the header. This error appears in different distributions (since I tried some more distributions last time I can't say which exactly). My actual Distribution is archlinux and it has the error: If I press the eject-button the icon remains on the desktop...
Does anybody know how to solve this problem???
Greetings
ToK
new findings:
The icon for audio discs disappears correctly. The Icon for Video-DVDs doesn't disappear. If I click on a "remaing" Icon the Contents of the Disc is shown with nautilus - I can even navigate in the directory-tree... 
some news - again:
maybe it belongs to it: if I start k3b for burning k3b says gvfs-cdda blocks the device. If I umount (gvfs-mount -u cdda://sr0) the burning process starts and the icon disappears from the desktop...

umount does what it does and eject does what it does. eject will always eject (sometimes you have to be root), but it doesn't always umount first. I've found umount plus manual, button press, eject is the most reliable method.

Isn't there a solution to unmount on eject? It is some kind of funny to browse through the directory tree on an disc which is not in the drive...

I don't know if there's a solution for arch, I use fedora which has not been a problem recently. Occasionally bugs pop up though so it is as well to get acquainted with the bug reporting process of whatever distro you're using. I had a few issues with udev a while back and posted bug reports, with workarounds, and within a week they issued a patch which solved it. Not been an issue since. But tomorrow is another day ...

Well, I tried opensuse 11.4, too. It also has the problem - debian 6.0 doesn't...
Where to post the bug??? (I've never done before.)

I would google for your problem and look at results that are already bug reports for arch. If you can't find anything do the same but for gnome bugs. You might find an existing bug report or even a solution.

browsing the net brings many hits - but nothing which fits perfectly to the problem
Meanwhile I tried some distrbutions: Ubuntu 10.04 doesn't have the problem, debian squeeze, openSuse 11.4 and archlinux have the problem!
But I've got the solution now (I think)
I tried this in archlinux: Looking in /var/run I see a file hald - so hald seems to run without starting the daemon explicit on startup. I nonetheless started the daemon by hand so I got the files hald and hald.pid in /var/run. Pressing the eject-button ejects the disc AND make the icon disappear 
So I started hal on bootup and it works!!!
