Three use cases in which in my opinion the behavior is clearly incorrect:
Case 1:
1. Put DVD in drive while logged in. DVD is mounted.
2. Reboot computer and log back in. DVD is not mounted. It should be.
Case 2:
1. Put DVD in drive before logging in. DVD is not mounted.
2. Log in. DVD is not mounted. It should be.
Case 3:
1. Put DVD in drive while logged in. DVD is mounted.
2. Log out. DVD stays mounted under /run/media/$USER. It should have
been unmounted when you logged out.
3. Log back in as another user. DVD is still mounted under
/run/media//previous-$USER/. It should have been remounted under
your $USER.

So, I'm a bit confused. I tried to reproduce this with a USB stick today.
If I plug it in while I'm logged in, it shows up. I log out and log back in,
and it still shows up.
If I reboot, plug it in during GDM, and then log in... it shows up. Under
what circumstance does it not show up for you?
