If the GUI mounts to /mnt/cdrom , the mount point should show as
/mnt/cdrom regardless of whether it's a link or a directory. (Although
I'm not 100% sure, I'll test later)

I agree that the GUI shouldn't make assumptions about mount points in the
first place. The only thing about changing one user's GUI settings is
that it leaves the system broken for everybody else, since a mount point
is a system-wide thing.
