I have a suggestion on the usb plugin..  I think it should work similar
to how the network connectivity in VIDEO ITEMS works ie
[host:/mnt/foler].  If we have something similar say
[USB:dev_id:display_name].

Then we recode the section where host:/mnt/folder is identified and and
add a section for USB devices.. Where we follow dischi's suggestions and
a) when dev_id is found in usb devices
b) search for (no idea how to do this) related /dev/sda etc devices
c) make a mount 
d) link mount to display_name
e) add display_name to the list of dirs available.

Now I had though we should integrate this with hotplug or something
similar..  But I don't think there is any way to get the 'created' mnt
point which the hotplug script creates.

Does anyone know where the existing code is?  I'd be happy to try this
but I can't find where the 'if ping host then display dir' code is
hidden..

Also, any suggestions on how to locate linked devices without grepping
/var/log/messages??
