I think you should use KDE's eject function, then eject manually if the disc doesn't come out by itself. I also think your expectations are completely reasonable - if hal polls the cd drive every two seconds to find when a disc is in it and then mount it, *surely* it should umount the disc when it knows for an absolute fact that the disc is no longer present. I can't think of a single reason why hal should every leave a disc mounted that isn't there any more ... -- alan dot mckinnon at gmail dot com
