I'm not the maintainer of the old SUNWgnome-cd-burner (actually nautilus-cd-burner), but I'm guessing it can show popups because it gets the media info from HAL.
I do not always use SunRay. Does sun ray user has the "Console User" profile? Why not create a new "SunRay Session Owner" which will make more senses to me? Anyway, it is configurable, adm or sunray software could remove "Desktop CD User" from "Console User". >> (Of course, I'm also fairly sure the existing GNOME CD >> infrastructure is rather broken on Sun Rays anyway, since I often get >> popups on my Sun Ray server asking what I want to do with the blank CD >> that some other user of the server just inserted (admittedly it's still >> on nv_79 since it was installed with SXDE and the OpenSolaris >> replacement >> isn't ready yet).) >> > Thanks, lin
