Well, mine is a bit different.  I typically run FVWM from a SLIM logon,
so there's no KDE or Gnome auto-anything running.  I only used Konqueror
as an example of another way of accessing the CDs that might have
worked, but didn't.   I can even stop XDM, log in from a console prompt
with no X running, and try to play a CD with cdplay or dcd, and I'll get
the same results.  And with me, it doesn't start to work and then slow
down; it never works.  It can only read track listings, but not any of
the music.

And no, I'm on 32-bit "stable" Gentoo, with only "unstable" packages
being ones that don't have stable ebuilds.

Thanks for trying, though.  :-)  Anyone else have any ideas?
