But man, getting it installed is hairy. I tried (on Debian unstable)
and wound up only with a confused /dev directory due to d-bus
taking over control of that.
I now have a mysterious situation where the order of my two CD/DVD
drives (internal CD/RW-writer/DVD-reader and external USB2
CD/RW/DVD+/-R/RW-reader-and-writer) seems to be semi-random each
time I reboot. I'm sure there's some way to fix that in the D-bus
XML file, but it's helpfully undocumented. Gotta love GNOME
and their consistency doco-wise -- ie. it isn't there ;)
