How do I disable k3b from starting every time I pop a writable CD into my CD writer? I have a script that I've been using for some time that uses cdrecord to write CDs. The autostarting of k3b interferes with the operation of the script and has resulted in failed CD writing attempts.

I've looked thru the KDE Control Center and resmgr docs, but can't seem to find where this insidious event is being initiated. BTW, I strongly dislike automatic stuff like this and would like to disable it all if I knew how. I've had no such problems under previous versions of SuSE Linux.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks!

Phil, Installing KDE 3.2 would eliminate this for you and give you some nice new KDE stuffs! If you are not into that, then do a search in the SuSE english archives as this was mention there before. That's how I got mine to quit before I update to 3.2 lately. It has something to do with the SuSEplugger or hardware thingy in your systray. Take a look at those too for a setting to not automount. I don't think it was in the control center, but just don't remember the details.
