I'm a GNOME user, so this may just be me.
I am completely unable to get autorun to work in KDE. It does not mount the DVD, it does not run the autorun script on the DVD.
When the user logs in, the autorun thing bounces - but then it stops bouncing, and that's all - media is not even mounted.
FC3 with all updates. What do I do?

Secondly - is there a way from a shell script to turn off the event noises temporarily? IE the beeps and burps from kdialog?
IE - run command to save user setting to shell variable turn off the sounds do my thing restore user settings
In gnome that kind of thing can be done with gconftool-2
Thanks for suggestions
You might want to look in the Kmix Handbook (Open Kmix, right click the speaker icon, click Show Mixer Window, press f1).
In Section 5 "Advanced Kmix Features" you'll find a scripting guide. As a reference, cron turns my volume to zero at 10:17 PM and sets it to 60% at 6:14 AM like this:
----------------
#
#Set Master Volume Control to zero at 10:00 P.M.
17 22 * * * DCOPSERVER=`cat /home/rj/.DCOPserver_mavis.localdomain_:0 | grep local`;export DCOPSERVER;dcop kmix Mixer0 setMasterVolume 0
#Set Master Volume Control to 60% at 6:14 A.M.
14 6 * * * DCOPSERVER=`cat /home/rj/.DCOPserver_mavis.localdomain_:0 | grep local`;export DCOPSERVER;dcop kmix Mixer0 setMasterVolume 60
# Call the Alarm Script on Tue and Thur.
15 6 * * 2,4 /home/rj/alarm2

Note that those are one-liners between the comments and have suffered word wrap here.
Good luck.
