I plan to work on this "problem" since magicdev is only available on
RedHat, not on Debian, nor MandrakeLinux (and probably other..)

My suggestion would be :
-If mount is done through Nautilus (on Desktop, right click, Disks/Mount
point), Nautilus open a new window.
-If mount is not done by nautilus (ie through command line..), Nautilus
doesn't open a new window.

In the same idea, when umounting a CDROM drive, nautilus should only
eject CDROMS when umount was done via Nautilus..

Are you ok with this design ?
