KDE not releasing visited directories?

Yep. Thanks.
Turning off fam makes the CD unmountable, even while Konq is looking 
at it. Simply clears the view to the CD.
lsof however does _not_ report anything open on this system.

Unfortunately I need fam running so that KDE does not poll my 
automounted CD and floppy every 5 seconds.
I thought I could get rid of this manually mounting and unmounting for 
my non-tech desktop users.
But automount and fam are totally useless from within KDE as things 
are now. :o(

Thanks for all your help so far folks.

Best regards :o)
