Description Szokovacs Robert 2006-07-31 14:36:23 UTC 
Version:            (using KDE KDE 3.5.4)
Installed from:    Debian testing/unstable Packages

I'm using DBUS/HAL/pmount to monitor and mount the newly attached devices and it works fine. I have one problem however: if more than one user is logged in (with KDE session), all of the will get the popup window asking what to do with this CD? I think this is the best we can do, since we can't be sure which user will want to mount the device. But when one of the users did mount the device, the other windows should disappear! It's very annoying and confusing to coming back to your workstation to have 10 windows to close just because someone else switched some cd's, and it's a bit of privacy leak also.

Bug 124845 reports the same problem, but the idea suggested here is new.

kio media doesn't exist on KDE4.
Comment 3 Szokovacs Robert 2009-03-02 12:50:15 UTC 
The solution in KDE4 is much better (but is still the window stays there, althrough it becomes empty after the cd is removed and if the cd is not removed, and if the second user clicks on it, the he can be under the impression he mounted the disk and be confused about why can't he unmount it)
