 fstab, create entry for dvd, mount dvd, you are done.
 
I created the fstab entry (with filesystem=auto, flags=user,ro,noauto), the 
user can mount the drive, access the content and unmount the drive again. But 
this has to be entered on the console, which is absolutely unusable for users 
who don't have any clue what a console is :-( 

There must be some way to make wine doing all this so that the cd/dvd is 
automatically visible just like under native windows or KDE.

your problem is that the mount point is dynamic. So change your system to make 
the mount point static, using hal, udev, fstab or whatever else it is you use 
for that.

Then when media is inserted, it will be mounted at a known point and show up 
in the file browser. You might have to make a symlink from /media/cdrom to D: 
or similar

Hi there!

I'm just trying to get an windows-application  running, and I fail to

The problem: In winecfg 's drive-tab there is a setting cdrom, but it
