I think you should use KDE's eject function, then eject manually if the disc
doesn't come out by itself.
I also think your expectations are completely reasonable - if hal polls the cd
drive every two seconds to find when a disc is in it and then mount it,
*surely* it should umount the disc when it knows for an absolute fact that the
disc is no longer present. I can't think of a single reason why hal should
every leave a disc mounted that isn't there any more ...
