HTH.
Thanks for the suggestion. I haven't tried it but it led me to another solution: When the DVD is inserted, an icon for it appears on the desktop; in the properties item of the icon's context menu (right mouse button), in the mounting tab, select the check box "Mount automatically". The next time the DVD is inserted, it is automatically mounted without having to display it in Konqueror. To eliminate the popup window, I selected "Toggle as Auto Action" for the option "Do Nothing" for Mounted DVD in the Personal Settings. In trying to reproduce what I described above, I found I must have misremembered, because, as you correctly point out, by clicking ignore, the DVD remained unmounted (before I selected "Mount automatically"), and I in fact could not access the DVD; I was probably remembering the submount behavior of SUSE 10.0.
