In /etc/fstab you'll have a line like:
/dev/hdc    /media/cdrom0    udf,iso9660    user,defaults,noauto,ro 0 0
Just change "user" to "group" and add the users you want to be able
to mount it in to the group /dev/hdc belongs (cdrom).

I use k3b from the deb package and it looks fine for me,
maybe try changing the theme in settings?

5. Don't use the beta, but maybe a bug?

Try adding the line
kwin
to ~/.xinitrc

I don't use IR but maybe take a look at:
/usr/share/lirc/lirc-modules-source.conf.tpl
or if you get stuck you can always download the package from
Debian and extract the .conf file your self, it may even woek with
Ubuntu's version.

Hope that helps a bit.
