udisks replacement for the HAL EjectPressed signal?

GNOME has indeed the same problem.

As Kay already explained, we changed dk-disks to unlock CDs after
mounting [1] instead, which in nowaday's systems gives a pretty
sensible behaviour. 

The only problem with that is that it's not sufficient, since the next
open() on the device will lock it again (which happens on e. g. DVD
video playback). Therefore we really need to disable the default
locking behaviour in the kernel (/proc/sys/dev/cdrom/lock).
