after the guest startups, then I right click mouse in the UI of the

there comes an event in the qmp-monitor.
{"timestamp": {"seconds": 1320118137, "microseconds": 420150}, "event":
"TRAY_STATE_CHANGED", "data": {"device": "ide0-cd1", "state": "open"}}
however, if I change the cdrom by this command:
{ "execute": "change","arguments": { "device": "ide0-cd1", "target":
"/home/fsh/image/OCDC-natty-Test-Drive-20110823_010339.iso" } }
there is no any event.
and { "execute": "eject", "arguments": { "device": "ide0-cd1" } },
there is also no any event.
This was by design. The idea was that management can do the following
to change a CD when the guest keeps the medium locked and reacts to
eject requests (like very recent Linux does):
Scenario 1: non-forced media change
1. start looking at TRAY_STATE_CHANGED events
2. execute "eject" command
3. execute "query-block"
4. if disk is still shown as closed, check for guest reactions:
4.1. if no TRAY_STATE_CHANGED event has been reported since
step 1, wait until a TRAY_STATE_CHANGED event has arrived
4.2. if the TRAY_STATE_CHANGED event had state == closed, fail
5. execute "change" command
Scenario 2: forced media change
1. execute "eject -f" command (with the posted patches that
always unlock the tray upon "eject -f")
2. execute "change" command
3. if it fails, restart
