I'm having the same issue on a desktop PC running Ubuntu 10.04 x86 with
the Apple Aluminium keyboard (05ac:1006). The graphical eject overlay
appears whenever I press the eject button on the keyboard, the `eject`
command works (including `eject -T` when the drive is open), and the
eject button on my DVD drive always works. Pressing the eject button on
the keyboard, however, only works if there is a disc in the DVD drive
that is mounted and the drive tray is closed.

This feature was working correctly in Ubuntu 9.10

Bug description:
I've found that on my Mac Pro running Ubuntu 10.04 x64 Beta 2 (completely updated as of April 20th 2010), the eject key on the keyboard doesn't eject the CD tray. However, on my Macbook, with the exact same software setup, the key does work.

In both cases the eject image appears in the upper-right corner of the screen momentarily. Just that a CD will eject on the laptop machine and does't with the desktop.
