A little late, but I'm working on a construction to offer the user userfriendly access to all kinds of resources, local like CDrom, what you're looking for, and USB devices and ATA harddisks, and remote like SMB shares.
Look at : http://linux.bononline.nl/projects/mount.md5key.new/ It creates a directory in the userhomedirectory offering directories like 1-Transcend JetFlash Flash Drive 06-SAMSUNG_HD753LJ and something like: Network/Windows Network/ExampleWorkgroup/FirstServer/firstshare These directories are managed by a fuse module I've written, and when accessing these directories these are mounted by the automounter, and the fuse module is redirecting the contents to these directories. I'm working on support on cdroms at this moment. It works with FUSE (for the fuse-workspace-ll module), autofs for mounting, ConsoleKit for session support, udev for detection of hardware, the at daemon for launching scripts/programs, and a lot of bash scripts. I hope I can give a prsentation about it in Oktober in Nurnberg ate the Opensuse Conference. Still looking??
