Thanks for your replies. Although kcontrol center comes close, it does not do what I really need:
- usb stick plugged off: no icon - usb stick plugged in: icon (not mounted) - usb stick plugged in and mounted: icon (mounted) Case 2 and 3 work already today, but I do not see case 1 working. My assumption is that knoppix creates with hotplug scipts Desktop files like $ cat ~/Desktop/CD-Brenner [Desktop Action Eject] Exec=kdeeject %v Name=Eject Name[de]=Auswerfen [Desktop Entry] Actions=Eject Dev=/dev/cdrw Encoding=UTF-8 Icon=cdwriter_mount MountPoint=/cdrw ReadOnly=false Type=FSDevice UnmountIcon=cdwriter_unmount X-KDE-Priority=TopLevel $ I will investigate further...
