Hi Greg,
Thanks for the advice.
For the mechanism you mentioned, does it mean that I should create a daemon with libudev to keep on tracking the event coming out and bringing the gui window from there?
Is it the method employed in current kernel for the file explore auto pop up when usb hard drive plug in?
Thanks,
Andy
