micromount, in its current state (uses udev rather than hal - therefore
only acts on device events, not media change events like cdrom), took
half a day to write and test. To extend it for media changes, I would
probably need libhal, and libhal however seems a lot more complex (its
interface also has a certain ugliness factor) than udev's "API".

What I say is that at least udev, hald and dbusd could/should be one 
process.
