I've tested the patch and it works fine on one of my 2 cd/dvd drives. I 
then checked the 'dbus-monitor --system' output and only one of the 
devices gave me the 'EjectPressed' signal, so it's probably unsupported 
in Linux.

Kinda weird though... I have a really mainstream HP desktop with an even 
more mainstream HL-DT-STDVD-ROM GDR8163B dvd-rom player...
