This works by default. Right click on the background, selcet "Disks" and choose the Cdrom you want to mount. After the CDROm is mounted, an Icon is displayed on the desktop.

| try compiling (or load as a module) supermount support in your kernel... edit /etc/fstab... voila, a CD icon on your desktop is always present... |

The only way to get the same effect as in Mac OS X is with magicdev. There is no ebuild for it, so you'll just have to get it from cvs and install it yourself. Something like this:
| Code: | export CVSROOT=:pserver:anonymous@anoncvs.gnome.org:/cvs/gnome
cvs login
cvs -z3 co magicdev
cd magicdev
./autogen.sh
./configure --prefix=/usr
make
make install |
Then simply start magicdev and cd's will automatically be mounted and Nautilus will display an icon for it. |

So, here's an ebuild for it =) Bear in mind I've never written an ebuild in my life, but I took the ebuild for galeon-cvs, and hacked it a bit to work for magicdev...it seems to work, too; after emerging it (I suggest perhaps putting it in gnome-extra in the portage tree), just go to the Desktop Preferences menu in GNOME and the "CD Properties" option will allow you to configure it.
