           Summary: misinterpreted network mount shows up as cdrom device on
                    desktop
           Product: kde
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: Ubuntu Packages
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal

Version:            (using KDE KDE 3.5.8)
Installed from:    Ubuntu Packages
OS:                Linux

I have several samba shares mounted as cifs filesystem on my workstation. One of these samba shares happens to be called "cdroms". The curious thing is that only this share appears as an icon of a cdrom device on the desktop, while it shouldn't. I right-click on it and get a context menu with the options "Eject", "Mount" and "Copy CD with K3B".
This is an ordinary smaba share mounted from a samba server, like many others I use. It seems that only because this one is called something with "cdrom" in it's name, KDE thinks it is a CDROM device!

How to reproduce:

1.- Set up a samba share on a samba-server, and call the share "cdroms".
2.- Make an entry on a KDE desktop computer's /etc/fstab that looks something like this:

\\server\cdroms  /mnt/cdroms  cifs  username=XX,password=YY,uid=ZZ,gid=users  0 0

3.- Give the command "sudo mount -a" on the desktop PC.
4.- Now you have a "CDROM" icon on your KDE desktop, which tries to behave like a CDROM drive, and the share's entry in "system:/media/" looks like a CDROM and not like a network share.

Expected behaviour:

The desktop icon should not appear and the network share should not have a CDROM icon in konqueror/dolphin "system:/media/".
