I'm also having this problem. If I mount a CD by double clicking the device icon and then close the konqueror window and hit eject, I get an error "eject /dev/hdb failed!". I can unmount using the unmount option and I verified that /media/cdrom0 was empty after the unmount. Yet, even after unmounting it refuses to eject. Manually doing eject /dev/hdb or eject /media/cdrom0 works fine. I get this eror whether I have 1 or 0 instances of Konqueror preloaded.
Once I killed this process I was able to eject from the KDE icon: 18057 ? S 0:00 kdeinit: kio_file file /tmp/ksocket-jason/klauncherw9Vnob.slave-socket /tmp/ksocket-jason/konquerorjKPFLa.slave-socket I'm having a similar problem with my USB key. If I double click my USB kde device icon and then close the konqueror window, it refuses to unmount complaining that the device is busy. I must kill this process to unmount the device. Unlike with the cdrom a umount /mnt/removable also complains that the device is busy. fuser shows this process running each time. 16151 ? S 0:01 kdeinit: konqueror -mimetype inode/directory file:/mnt/removable This problem can be solved if the performance setting "maximum number of instances kept preloaded" is set to 0, but this of course slows konqueror startup time.
