Good for it.

Apparently there is indeed no other event than tray open/tray close.  I
have no idea if there should be more though.

And I'm sorry, I spent enough time finding out udisks2 was the reason
why it stopped working, and then finding out how I could listen to
uevents myself;  I probably won't try to guess where could be the next
issue and what could maybe, perhaps, help on it.  I'm sorry I'm not a
kernel hacker.  I'd be happy to test ideas though.

Anyway, I'm afraid that if udisks2 doesn't work properly with Linux
3.10's sr_mod driver (or event half of the devices it handles), we're
going to have all kinds of problems.  Even if the driver gets "fixed" in
say, Linux 3.12, it'd still be broken for many a setup.

BTW, I have other machines with sr_mod-driven drives, but they don't run
unstable.  Maybe if nothing moves here I could try to put unstable on a
disc corner, but that's unlikely to happen too soon, sorry.
