HAL Question [solved]

Alright, something that I really never understood about HAL is why it will create the automount folder for a cd I insert but it won't actually mount the cd image unless I run thunar or nautilus then click on the folder, then it mounts. My problem now is that I don't use thunar or nautilus anymore and can't get the cd image to completely automount by clicking on the folder anymore, is this only an issue I have and is there some way to fix it?

rox mounts by clicking on the mountpoints. You need fstab entries like

/dev/hda/  mnt/dvd  auto  ro,user,noauto,unhide  0  0
