Two new commits just went into GIT, in tdelibs and tdebase.  This should
resolve most of the CD/DVD handling problem and might resolve your floppy
drive problem as well.

If you can, please check to see if unmounting a CD or DVD causes an
unwanted media insertion popup dialog to appear.  This happens on my test
system because udev fires a media removed event followed by a media
inserted event, and TDE dutifully shows the popup on media insert.  This
should probably be fixed upstream in udev, as I don't know if TDE would be
able to reliably distinguish between this spurious event and the user
reinserting the same disk.
