Something like that. I think it's part of GNOME and is responsible for making sure there's a CD icon on the screen, or something.
We had a different problem with this beast after installing RH6 some time ago. Every few seconds it would cause a spew of messages to the syslog reporting basically what we knew: there is no CD in the drive. It turned out though that these messages went away when the CD was properly reconfigured as a CD-writer by appending "hdc=ide-scsi" to the boot parameters. Not that this is at all relevant...
Anyway, no I don't know much about it.
