disable cd "autorun"

Is it possible to disable the autorun for cd/dvd drives? It allways opens TWO konqueror tabs, and I don't whant this. It's good for USB Sticks, but CDs I whant to play with amarok (DVDs in vlc). And when the CD is empty, then the mounting fails of corse. Its very anoying.

I use KDE 3.4.3 (Kubuntu 5.10).

Kubuntu Breezy uses ivman for autorun functionality. You can change the mounting and autorun behavior in the /etc/ivman/IvmConfigActions.xml configuration file. The two Konqueror tabs might be due to running more than one instance of ivman.
