I understand what you are saying, however AFAIK KDE4 and Xfce do not use
the eject command (they probably use udisks or similar), therefore I would
not expect any problems with 'eject' to be reported even if they did
exist.

I can't fix (or sometimes even work around) core Linux system problems by
modifying TDE... :-)
