As I understand it, dbus will monitor changes in your userspace and tell the kernel when something happens. Like you plugging in your jump-drive or a printer. From there udev will name/type the device according to predefined rules in /etc. I believe from there hotplug will recognize the device (placed appropriately by udev in /dev) as whatever it is and load the appropriate modules. It is at this point the HAL daemon will tell kde to plop a pretty little icon on your desktop.
I may be off on a few points here so if anybody has a better, more accurate description, please let us know.

Hello --
I checked all the icons I like in "Configure desktop > etc.", including the
unmounted devices. Yet there are no icons on my desktop (after kde restart).
Can someone help me?
mike.
