Other cases are less "corner" and have a similar problem: remote desktop
login via kdm. Let's say a user is logged into bigbox - USB handling is
fine. Another user on smallbox uses the kdm on smallbox to get a KDE
session on bigbox - there's no way this second user can get usable USB
device handling. Plugging into bigbox makes it owned by the first user,
plugging it into smallbox makes it inaccesssible to everyone - the
users's everything runs on bigbox. The kdm on smallbox doesn't even
allow to open another session on smallbox (but does on bigbox...).

I am of course ignoring the command line here. However there is no
graphical solution. I would think that in a family there may well be a
new and an old computer, creating this kind of situation.
