What? I would hope it just plugs in. Certainly Windows is supposedly "easy to use" and "ready to go". (I've heard some horror stories from users on this NG though, where XP requires the user to stick in its install disc and reboot, in order to load drivers or something.)
You are either Pro-LGX-OSS, or you are anti. That's all, no "straddling the fence", none of that wishy-washy...
Even in non-supermount Linux it's not difficult:

buttuming everything's set up properly. (If there are SCSI disks on the system the device name might change slightly.)
KDE has little to do with it, except at the very end. The proper flow is something along the following lines, AIUI.
1 User sticks CD into drive. 2 Supermount daemon polls unit, detects that a CD is in drive. 3 Supermount daemon issues mount request or command. (I don't use supermount so I'm not all that clear here.) 4 CD is mounted. 5 KDE daemon -- in Gnome it's nautilus but I don't know KDE's variant's name -- looks at eitheretc-mtab orproc-mounts, detects a difference, recognizes that a new device has been mounted, and adds an icon to the desktop.
-- It's still legal to go .sigless.
