Hi,

I an right now working on a replacement for kautorun for KDE 2.0. It is based 
on the hotplug package we use in COL 3.1 and 3.1.1., but I have spent quite 
some time to remove some of the Caldera specifics (and some of the Linux 
specifics as well).

I hope that I have something to show soon :)


Bye,
Matthias.
