Re: merging cdplayer_applet and gtcd

Seconded!  I'd like to be able to use both my drives too....

Along these lines, I have Grip set up in the Gnome Control Center as the default
application to launch when I insert an Audio CD, so when I put a CD in, sure
enough Grip launches.  Then, when I use Grips's eject button, the disk pops out
as expected.  When I put a new audio CD in, a second Grip launches, so now I
have two running.  Is this a Control Center issue, or is it a Grip issue.  It
seems like the Control Center should keep track of whether the application it is
told to launch is already running, and then shouldn't open another instance of
it.
