I know that DVD playback, CD burning, mounting CDs, etc. can be annoying in 
Linux and have gone through gyrations on this myself off and on. However, in 
all cases where I've had trouble it is totally a problem with the distro 
install and has never had anything to do with the desktop management package 
being used. Currently I am enjoying the full functionality of my DVD/CD-RW 
unit on a Kubuntu install running KDE 3.4.  However, I can well imagine there 
is little comfort in hearing that others are successful where you have had 
troubles. All I can offer is that it can take some research time to figure 
out what fix works for your particular situation.

Good Luck.
