I have SuSE 9.1 installed on my box which has CD-ROM and DVD RW drives. Yesterday I downloaded a few online updates via YaST - but can't remember which ones. Since then my CD-ROM sporadically opens itself for no apparent reason; with or without any applications running.
AFAIK the program which does the ejecting under software control is simply called "eject" - so you might try renaming it on a see what happens basis. It should stop this happening but the errant program which is calling eject might complain/sulk/screw up (or perhaps eject _is_ the culprit, but it doesn't look as if it's been updated since 2002 so I doubt it).
Incidently I did a Google and several users report the same problem but nobody has come up with a reason for it, although either changing the CD-ROM drive, or using Gnome instead of KDE worked in some cases.
What were your search terms? I just googled it but could only find reference to kde blocking cdrom unmounting. This is a long-standing problem with kde and it would be nice if it were sorted out.
