  Dialog displays "writing to cdrom" when unmounting a read-only cd

Bug description:
  [Problem]
  A status throbber shows up in certain circumstances when unmounting a cdrom, that indicates it is writing to the device, when the device in question is read-only.

  [Discussion]
  In looking at a series of CDs, inserting and ejecting each in turn, once and a while (seems like 5-10% of the time), it will briefly display a status widget that indicates it is writing to the device.  This is not correct because the CD is read-only (indeed the drive is just a CDROM, no write abilities at all).
