Hi,
The document mentioned below does not give the right answer with my version of KDE (3.2.3 - I also checked on 3.2.0 - same). The solution on current KDE implementations is internal to KDE. Most likely a module with setuid bit set. In order to make it work one must first make sure the fstab is right and the device mounts correctly. Then the files in ~/Desktop for the CD and Floppy should have the appropriate text in them.
CD example:
$ less CD-ROM
[Desktop Action Eject]
Exec=kdeeject /cdrom
Name=Eject
[Desktop Entry] Actions=Eject Dev=/dev/cdrom Encoding=UTF-8 FSType=Default Icon=cdrom_mount MountPoint=/cdrom ReadOnly=false Name=CDROM Type=FSDevice UnmountIcon=cdrom_unmount
Floppy example: $ less Floppy [Desktop Entry] Dev=/dev/fd0 FSType=auto Icon=3floppy_mount MountPoint=/floppy Name=Floppy Type=FSDevice UnmountIcon=3floppy_unmount X-KDE-Dynamic-Device=true

Hi,
Somehow I ruined the functionality of the CD and Floppy icons on the KDE (3.2.3) desktop on RH9.
Can anyone explain to me how those icons work (do they run a setuid program?)?
I don't know. I didn't see any reply either. The first match I got from googling for `cd icon kde' is http://sxs.thexdershome.com/guis/cdicon.html. Skimming that page suggests that it is what you are looking for. I don't know how new/accurate/whatever this page is. One might also try google groups if he must have an answer or has the time for that. Hopefully someone else will come up with more details.
