I've googled for close to a week to
resolve this. I know that inserting a usb disk (depending on
setup and version) causes a knock on effect by calling dbus,
hal, and maybe more depending. But *how* does nautilus (or
any other file manager system) find out that the disk is
there and put an icon in the sidebar ("places")?

I've checked bookmarks, GConf- nothing I can see anywhere
tells me how this is done. I figured there must be a GConf
setting somewhere or another backend that stores this
otherwise there'd be too many lookups.

Surely it can't be polling for it through hal
continuously?

Clues anyone?

hal is no longer present in Fedora.  Which version of Fedora are you running?

Now udisk takes care of mounting usb disks as they become available.

I am trying to find a reference to indicate the changes and make it available here, but can't seem to find one.

Maybe this LWN article can help?

Yes, but there is still the same problem- my question is how is it notified/config/whatever? I used hal in the equation because that is what *was* used, and all the data I could find on the net was based on it (mind you it is only in hindsight this "trade secret" has been divulged, and even then... hmmm). But Udev still has to use the same method as well, right? So what gives? It has to be stored somewhere... so where?
