I think you are somewhat on the same page as David Zeuthen with regard to what direction should be taken to make hotpluggable devices more integrated in the desktop. Whether or not the new system prompts for interaction by default or just notifies is a UI detail that could be argued about later... number 4 on David's list. The real trick is bulding up the per-device configuration for each user and teaching the desktop ui how to access those per device properties. I think David did a good job prioritizing the technical issues in his list. -jef
