Description of problem:
I have this friend.  Yeah, that's it.  I have a friend who logged in
as a user,
let's call it jpin, and then executed gnome-cd-properties as user root and
disabled the autoplaying of audio CDs.  He then wondered why his audio
CDs were
still autoplaying.  After some investigation, my friend figured out
that he is
an idiot and ran gnome-cd-properties as the same user as his current gnome
session and things magicdevally started working properly.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
magicdev-1.1.3-1

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Insert CD
2.See it play
3.Wish it didn't.
4.Run gnome-cd-properties as root and change the behavior
5.repeat steps 1, 2, and 3.
6.Wait for light to dawn
7.Run gnome-cd-properties as the user who is logged into session
8.Repeat Step 1.
9.Be amazed that this really works the way it's supposed to.
10.Sheepishly enter a bug pretending it was really a friend doing this
    

Actual Results:  CD plays.

Expected Results:  CD does not play.

Additional info:

jrb says that it's possible to prevent "my friend" from doing this
stupid thing
by not allowing this to be run from different machines and/or
different users
than currently logged in.

Yeah, not really going to happen, and magicdev is really dead.
