When you insert a CD (audio or data) it _should_ offer you options of what
to do with it, unless you've already told it not to ask again.  I find that
annoying, too, but it still asks me (way too often, every time I touch the
side of my laptop, it seems the hardware senses a new CD).  I can't help
thinking that you've once told it what to do and checked the "don't ask
again" box.  I'm not sure what you'd need to do to get the popup back.  I'd
really rather it just put the icon on the desktop and let me choose what I
want to do without popups, but I still don't think removing media:/ is a
good thing.  

Incidentally, media:/  is part of kdebase-kio-plugins, but I doubt it would
be a good idea to remove the package :-)
