However, if you're using Gnome then please have a look at System --> Preferences --> Removable Drives and Media I know that there is a difference in the automount of a data CD/DVD when the user is root (basically it doesn't, you would have to right-click on the icon and select mount manually) and when the user is a normal user (automount err automounts).

I use GNOME 99% of the time, but KDE is also installed and the problem is the same, with either Desktop.

System > Preferences > Removable Drives and Media shows:

The top three (3) boxes are checked, for Removable Storage
