Public bug reported:

I have a multiseat setup described here

http://help.ubuntu.com/community/MultiseatX

using a GDM. When a DVD disc is automounted it  it is by luck whether
the session that you are currently using gets to mount the device first.
If a different session mounts it first, then as a different user has
mounted it, you cannot unmount it from your own session.

This is similar defect as the one described here
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/28336
except that one is for KDE and non multiseat setup. 

The difference is that in multiseat setup multiple sessions can have
focus or be active so it might be impossible for the system to decide
for which session to automount the media without feedback from the user.
If one session is idle then the system should be able to mount the disc
on the session which is not idle if there is one. Otherwise system
should popup a dialog (or display notification icon in notification area
such as disc is ready to be mounter) on all sessions to ask to mount the
disc and if one session accepts the options, the dialog would be
dismissed on all sessions.
