Same problem for me on two recent, fresh installs of Karmic, but here's
the twist:  This also affects KDE3.5.10  and XFCE 4.6, on two different
machines with two completely different DVD devices (and a third that I
threw out, thinking it was bad).

Could the same piece of software be responsible for this bug occurring
on all three desktop environments?

Begin rant:

This bug was filed over a year and a half ago.  Why is it still a
problem!?  Shortage of developers?  Lack of time?

If I try to eject from the button on front, it often refuses, because
the computer overrides me!

If I try to use the command line and it usually works - unless the
computer overrides me!

If I try to eject using a paperclip in that little hole, it usually
works - unless the computer overrides me!

(Do you folks see a pattern yet??)

I've used Linux for several years now, and I've watched some aspects of
it really deteriorate over the last few years.  Minor bugs I understand,
but this kind of stuff defies the normal behavior of the computer
(regardless of OS).  Whatever caused this bug should have either been
fixed or reverted long ago.

If I press the eject button, by $DIETY, that drive had better eject
*unconditionally*.  I don't care if there's a disc in the drive, I don't
care if that disc is mounted or not, and I don't care if some random
application throws an error!  Eject the flippin' tray!

End rant.
