I made some changes to the explorer_cd script. It is set up for my own KDE3 desktop. You can easily specify which programs to use by editing the variables FILEMAN, PLAYCD, PLAYDVD and BURNDISC. Copy the code below and paste it into /usr/bin/explorer_cd (as root, and you should make a backup of the original script). You do need zenity and gtkdialog installed. Run the script from a terminal so you can see any error messages.
