dmesg does not give any messages at all related to this; but an icon 
appears on my desktop. The icon is useless, since Brasero won't record 
on the device anyway (tried that). There are also no obvious kernel 
errors at boot-up, tied to either the DVD-RW device or the 
Blu-Ray-R/DVD-RW device (although it seems to be looking for a floppy 
drive that doesn't exist - fd0). All connections on this machine are SATA.

It appears that just because the device icon is on my desktop, it 
doesn't mean necessarily that it is actually mounted -- sda, sdb, and 
sdc are my hard drive partitions, and there are no sdd or sde devices 
which would give evidence that the DVD is detected.

As Hugh pointed out, this is all moot, since if the DVD is blank, there 
is no filesystem there to mount anyway, so the fact that there is no sdd 
or sde is correct behaviour for a disk with no fs on it.
