I found the same problem on 12.04; I think it started when I was using Rythm Box to "extract" some music from a CD, and when I saw that it was creating .ogg files, I decided to terminate the job, and finding there was no "cancel" button in the application, I pushed the eject button on the cd drive, admittedly a brash act. The drive did open, but the application hung, and something had changed irreversibly. The problem still persists now as soon as I boot up I can open the drive with the button once, but after that, there is nothing that will open it except a reboot, or the terminal command "sudo eject -i off", which does not eject, but re-enables the button on the drive. I have been really pleased with 12.04; this is the first shortcoming that I have found that was significant to me.
