A lot of the new Nautilus settings are buried in GConf.  If you could
write up what you did to make it "usable" again, that would make a great
FAQ.

Can you write this up in a generic sense?  This would make another great
FAQ.  By the way, this was exactly what I was going for.  My latest
addition to this feature will only show icons for mount points that you
own.  Therefore, if you also added /usr/home/marcus/mnt/cdrom to fstab,
klammer should not see that mount.

Why?  I unmounted (and ejected) a CD just two days ago.  Nautilus uses
cdcontrol to eject a CD.  Does that not work for you?

I'm not sure, I haven't seen it before (probably because I never
looked).  I'll investigate.
