Howdy, I'm seeing a strange behavior and I thought I'd let the Devel community know about it:
While using Agent v1.8, and while having a CD in my CD tray (although unmounted!), if I start agent under wine, I'm able to open and close my CD tray. However, if I try to use the attachment window to attach something, the CD-ROM drive spins up, and I'm unable to open it. Even if I attach nothing, the CD-ROM drive is claimed by wine so that I can't eject the Drive. Once I exit agent, the drive is released so that I can open the drive. Note that the CD-ROM was never mounted. Even a check during the blocked period shows no mounted device, even though the "eject' command says "device busy."
Interestingly, when I just tried this again for this email, I noticed the following output messages (It seems that there are some floppy drive assumptions, also.)
If you don't want Wine to attempt raw device access, don't give it a "Device" = in the [Drive X] entry, I think. Your average Windows app is inquisitive and tries to look at all drives that have defined devices.

Either pre-set it or make sure the device to read it from is accessible ! Perhaps you have not properly edited or created your Wine configuration file. This is (supposed to be) '/home/olsam/.wine/config'
