What about DeviceKit-disks and S.M.A.R.T. monitoring (which I think it does): If the service is only started as soon as you log in and start an application like palimpsest, isn't there a risk that we could miss important events, i.e. shouldn't DeviceKit-disks not also be started as soon as possible and running all the time?
