The current trend is to run daemons which use libudev / gudev to listen for events. Or possibly DeviceKit-disks(7), depending on what you're trying to do. The NetworkManager daemon, for example, has been converted from a HAL client to a gudev client. I don't think there's anything convenient for user scripts at the moment though. Logged out users will often be denied permission to access interesting devices. So you might consider using personal (a.k.a "session") daemons. In that case you would need to enumerate devices of interest at login, as well as listening for events.
