Bug Description

Binary package hint: kdebase

edgy introduced some changes in kde's handling of removable media. one aspect was that media is mounted when "Do Nothing" is selected in the action selector that appears on plugging in a device. this is a good thing because it eliminates this "plugged in but not mounted" state, which was rather technical.
what is still a problem is that pressing Cancel instead of OK on the bottom of the dialog still makes KDE do absolutely nothing. even pressing cancel should mount the device to make it usable in an easy way and to not confuse users.

In current Feisty the cancel button mounts the device.
I actually think it shouldn't, but your wish is granted.

I aggree with you, Yuriy, the "Cancel" button is totally useless. Sometimes, it's usefull to not mount the media.
Is the option "Control Center --> Peripherals --> Storage Media --> Advanced --> Enable CD loading" responsible for this ? And why is it greyed out (even for root) ?
