Files copied from CDs not locked up anymore - great!

[Sean Hammond]

Those do sound like pretty big improvements. With Breezy, it's
entirely possible, by not unmounting a CD properly, to get it stuck in
the CD drive. It seems to me this is likely to happen to any new
non-expert user, and they will be very upset. They'll be completely
confused by the write permissions on files copied from a CD also. Out
of interest:

* Was the eject bug in Ubuntu, or in GNOME, Debian?
* Ejecting the CD seems like it might be hardware dependent. Has the
bug only been fixed for some hardware, or is it hardware independent
and fixed for everything?
