On suse 10 there is never any need to unmount autodetected items like a

cd's and dvd's too. Much better than what preceded it. On suse a konq
window pops up on insertion.

I dont think this is appropriate, especially for usb hot pluggable drives.
The drive maybe in use when unplugged. There must be a process followed to
unplug. Here on kubuntu 6.06 i have do <right click->safely remove> on the
drive before physically unplugging.
