I am sorry I missed the main point. In FC6 when you put in a CD it is
mounted a CD icon appears on the desktop. What happens next depends on
what kind of CD it is. Audios are played, data CD's are opened on the
screen in a Nautilus window. In gnome what happens is controlled by the
gui in: System -> Preferences-> Removable Drives and Media
