Sure, it ever does, if not you would have corrected the bug already :))

How to reproduce it :


  1) Insert CD.

  2) right mouse button on the desktop, select volumes and CD-ROM.

  3) double click on CD icon to open nautilus.

  4) Browse to one of the files, and open it (tested with nautilus).

  5) Close nautilus window.

  6) Try ejecting the cdrom => Error message saying the CD is in use.

> Are you using automount ?

Mmm, this would mean that the CD icon would appear as soon as i enter the CD
in the drive. If so, i guess i don't use automount.

Seriously, i have trouble following the logic, we have the premises :

  Nautilus doesn't use fam for read-only media.

  The bug appears in nautilus with read-only media.

Therefore :

  It can't be a fam bug since it is not used. 

But then, i don't really care about fam, the gnome maintainers are
supposed to make a working gnome desktop, and this include a working CD
mounting with nautilus. Having to reboot to be able to remove the CD is
just wrong, please fix this.

BTW, i have a scsi CD-ROM drive, but i suppose this doesn't influence
anything.
