I suspect this one is solved in 2.8 but...

Is there a simple way to make GNOME autoplay audio CDs and DVD in 2.6?

Things with filesystems are easily handled by GNOME, make sure there
is the appropriate fstab entry, plug in your CD, USB stick, or other
removable media, and a filemanager window opens, and an icon appears.

I just want to do similar for non-filesystem media - not so much
lazy, as I want to launch an application nicely tuned to do the
"right thing", to avoid confusing newbies. I'm sure I saw a menu
somewhere to do this.

        Simon, still converting to GNOME, but beginning to appreciate some
of it nice points, and swearing at its multimedia handling
oddities... The various MP3 apps all share their playlists as nice
XML files bueatifully, if only they all were as willing to share the
sound subsystem as readily<sigh>.

PS: Totem rocks. All I need now is better speakers - sigh.
