Some desktop managers already do autoplay-like behavior. In KDE, when I put in a CD/DVD for the first time, it'll ask me if I want to play it (if it's a video dvd/audio cd), if I want to open a burning program (if it's a blank cd/dvd), or if I want to browse it. And whether I want it to continue asking. It'd be quite annoying for both Wine *and* the DM to keep trying to autorun a disc I put in.
Ideally the freedesktop should define a spec (which they may already do as part of HAL) that we should be able to interface with. There should be a way to have the auto insert event detect a autorun.inf and prompt the user if they want to open it with Wine. If no one else wants to research it I'll try to take a look in to it sometime.
