By memory i'm using fam/gamin which is "file alternating manager" (correct here if wrong), or 'gamin' which is still testing-masked (~x86). This is part of gnome management i think. First comes "dbus" on top if which is "hal" and at the end - "ivman" (or 'gnome-volume-manger'). Just checked that 'dbus' doesn't depend on fam/gamin. So it's dbus-->hal-->ivman. All this works OK, just may be it doesn't show 'new' devices on KDE-desktop (also had problems with floppies, don't have now), but works with CD/CD-RW/DVD/DVD-RW, USB (my experience). HTH. Rumen
