I am sure this will not happen. Itis wrong to remove a CD while files on it 
are open, and CD drives have a software lock for a reason.

You _should_ though be able to eject the disk from the desktop.

Note that this last is a little problematic because Linux is a multiuser 
system and people use it that way. Who gets to control the CD drive? If you, 
then what happens if I'm using it too?
