On my system I have three of those device mount icons and they all work even though they all say `Location: / (devices)'. From comparing the properties of yours with mine, it seems that the name is derived from the path. My cdrom name reads `devcdrommntcdrom' and the path for my cdrom is /mnt/cdrom. Is the mount point for your cdrom at /cdrom? The config file for the paths seems to be at ~/.kde/share/config/kdfrc Chris Thiel
