I tested this under Xfce 4.10 and KDE 4.8.5. The mount point is the same as the disk label, just like TDE under HAL. For example "/media/Slackware64-current DVD." We probably want to be consistent and do the same?
Is this regression specific to CDs/DVDs, or does the same problem exist with other media as well? I never paid too much attention to how HAL handled default mount points...
Hmm. I don't know ----
I renamed my mediamanagerrc file and inserted some USB flash drives.
With no mediamanagerrc file, the device appeared on the desktop as "1.0G Removable Media." When I let the dialog mount the device, the device point was /media/disk.
I left that device mounted and inserted another USB flash drive. Same similar icon name but the mount point was /media/disk-1.
I renamed the icon labels for both devices and Safely Removed. Then I inserted both devices again. The icon labels displayed correctly with my new names but the mount points were the same as previous, /media/disk and /media/disk-1.
Of course, I can use the popup menu dialog to explicitly define a mount point location for the USB devices.
In a HAL system I don't need to define a mount point for optical disks. The disk is always mounted to a mount point using the disk label, which matches the icon label. As mentioned in a previous post, that behavior is seen in Xfce 4.10 and KDE 4.8.5 too.
My guess is we need only copy/paste some code snippets from halbackend to tdehwbackend. I'll try to look but I'm not certain exactly what to search.
