Ah, indeed. No gnome-mount when a device is ripped out. > I have a 20 line python script that implements what I would like by > hooking up gio and libnotify. Hm, it sounds as if that were a daemon which would need to run all the time? IMHO having a permanenlty running python blob for just this task is a bit too heavy. Or is it just producing the notification? Then using the binary in libnotify-bin might be sufficient, and avoids dynamic linking (although I don't think that it hurts to link nautilus against libnotify). > I'm looking for somewhere appropriate to put it. nautilus may be > appropriate, but I'm having a bit of trouble seeing how to use their > particular brand of gtk+. Is that any special? My gut feeling is that adding it to nautilus is appropriate, since it already listens to gio/hal events and thus can easily detect the hal "device removed" event, too. It could then just either use libnotify or libnotify-bin to produce the notification. > I wondered if it could be done as a nautilus extension, but that > doesn't look feasible from the little documentation that I could > find.

Maybe gvfs-hal-volume-monitor or gvfsd. Discussing that with davidz might yield some more insights/options.
