+OK, some updated testing:
+
+In KDELoad a DVD, get the device popup, and dismiss it.  Do a "df", and 
+see that there is no munt under /media.  If you bring up the Device 
+popup and select "Open with File Manager", Konqueror opens and displays 
+the AUDIO_TS and VIDEO_TS folders.  If you then do a "df", the volume 
+*has* been mounted under /media and stays mounted after you close 
+Konqueror, and now syslog shows:
+

+'CSI_NY_S7_D1', timestamp 2011/08/01 22:55 (1ed4)
+
+
+So it appears that KDE is now delaying the mount until you tell it 
+through the device popup that you want to run something it (KDE) "knows" 
+requires the mount ?  That is certainly going to screw up direct 
+invocation (not using the device popup) of any such application.
