Hey, Absolutely agree on all of these things - anyone keen to create some patches for these items? I believe libgpod is in spec-files-extra out on sourceforge, so that might be a good base to work from.

The blank disc insertion popup (http://tamarack.sfbay/images/jds4-nautilus.jpg) is off by default. I suggest to enable it by default (http://tamarack.sfbay/images/jds4-prefs-storage.jpg). I think that's the least surprise setting - Ubuntu and others has been doing this for a while. 2. Now that HAL can recognize portable music players, we should probably autolaunch Rhythmbox like we already launch sound-juicer and totem for audio and video media (http://tamarack.sfbay/images/jds4-prefs-multimedia.jpg) 3. Rhythmbox works fairly well with libgpod (http://tamarack.sfbay/images/jds4-rhythmbox-ipod.jpg). iPod support would add to the coolness factor. -Artem.
