KDE doesn't need ivman currently. It wasn't really necessary with 3.4 and
totally unneeded with 3.5.

Please don't tell my computers this. They are happily using the latest
dbus and hal to detect, name and mount devices.

We can sympathize with a child who is afraid of the dark, but the
tragedy of life is that most people are afraid of the light.

Mine too, although things were broken for awhile until I figured out I
needed to be a member of the 'plugdev' group.

Neils's computers, you are *not* supposed to eavesdrop on emails he gets. 
Understood? :-

I have got a small problem with it myself. hald isn't starting. Haven't had 
time to really investigate it. Next update world will probably correct it 
anyway.

 OK, I'll admit this new information
 plugdev:x:413:root,james
 makes it work again, but, for how long?

 Call me doubting_thomas, but, it's been round and
 round and round again with dbus/hal/ivman. I surely
 hope it's stable now, for good.

AFAIK, that infernal trio will be dropped in KDE 4 - at least in the current 
form. I don't want to post the relevant discussion in KDE here because most 
subscribers won't be interested in it. For those who actually are, go to 
lists.kde.org, select kde-devel and search for the subject containing 
FreeDCE. Some hilarious posts in November/December last year.

Enjoy. ;-)
