Until recently I was able to eject CDs/DVDs by pressing the physical

My bad or buggy?
HAL emits a signal when the Eject button is pressed, but I didn't care
to check so far, and so Thunar never used that. Maybe you had some
other
software installed that was listening for this HAL signal?
Dunno... Maybe something built into Ubuntu or something?

Should this be filed as a feature request for Thunar in bugzilla?
Jap.
Done. http://bugzilla.xfce.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2759
Patch attached, please test.
I doesn't work on my laptop.  I listened to dbus events, but nothing is
happening if I press the eject button.  Is there anything else I can do
to check the event?

Did you try with dbus-monitor --system? If so and you don't see the
DeviceCondition signal with the "EjectPressed" name, then HAL/Linux
doesn't support the eject button on your CD-ROM drive.
I've tested the patch and it works fine on one of my 2 cd/dvd drives. I then checked the 'dbus-monitor --system' output and only one of the devices gave me the 'EjectPressed' signal, so it's probably unsupported in Linux.

Kinda weird though... I have a really mainstream HP desktop with an even more mainstream HL-DT-STDVD-ROM GDR8163B dvd-rom player...
