I just tried this and this is how it works for me (Hoary with latest
updates): I go to Places - Computer and click on CD-ROM1. A Nautilus
window showing the content of the CD opens. I open a couple of
directories and a png-file. Then I right click on CD-ROM1 and choose
eject. All the Nautilus windows' showing the content of the CD close
themselves without a problem and the CD comes out. The PNG-file I opend
stays open. I like it this way and I hope this bug doesn't get fixed ;-)
