IIUC the icon of the CD writer is displayed alright.  It's the 
CDROM that is not correctly detected.  


JRT: Is there a similar snippet for the CDROM detection?  
That would probably explain it as I don't expect the 
names "cd" (from /dev/cd) or "Lecteur_CD" to show up in that check. 
"cdrom" (from your device /dev/cdrom) probably does, 
that's why it works for you.  


Fab: I'm just guessing, but does changing the line

/dev/cd         /mnt/Lecteur_CD         iso9660         noauto,ro,user  0 0 

to

/dev/cd         /mnt/cdrom         iso9660         noauto,ro,user  0 0 
 
help?  

Before you test, create the new mount point by saying, as root:  
mkdir /mnt/cdrom
