Ok I had the though to try the above with the DVD Drive connected. I ran lshal --monitor with the following result;
Start monitoring devicelist: ------------------------------------------------- 11:30:54.171: storage_model_RW_DVD_GCC_4522B property storage.removable.media_available = true 11:30:54.549: volume_part_1_size_384841728 added 11:31:30.706: storage_model_RW_DVD_GCC_4522B property storage.removable.media_available = false 11:31:31.546: volume_part_1_size_384841728 removed The gap above indicates ejection of the disk to stop "Starting File Manager" windows along the panel from proliferating. I was able momentarily to see the media listed under places in the menu, though this almost never happens. Thought the crash report that popped up might also be of some use. I was unable to double-click it, "Insufficient Memory" notification. See attached though...
