KDE should create mountpoints as needed (and it shouldn't really use a
fixed name "cdrom" here either).

Are you somehow still using HAL? Can you try stopping hald and see if
things flip over to using a proper system?

Otherwise we'll have to put a hack in somewhere to create /media/cdrom
directory to cope with this limitation.
