[opensuse] Wine doesn't recognise my dvd drive anymore

Recently, my DVD drive has stopped being accessible to programs running under
wine. This started when I was running oS 11.2, improved following an upgrade
to 11.3, but has now recurred.

My current system is oS 11.3 with KDE 4.5.3, and Wine 1.2.

In Wine configuration, under the Drives tab, D: has no Drive mapping.
Autodetect does nothing. If I browse to /dev/ and then complete the Path: to
read /dev/sr0, it seems to stick until I click OK, but it has disappeared next
time I open wine configuration. In the same tab, if I click the 'Show
Advanced' button, there are greyed out entries for

Device: /dev/sr0
Label: Audio CD
Serial: IDE02DD

None of my wine apps can see the CD/DVD drive, but it is mountable and usable
in the host system.

I am in the group cdrom.

Has anyone else come across this problem, and if so, how did you fix it?

Thanks,

Bob
