Hi all,

I've written a KDE extension called VirtualCD that lets the user mount CDROM 
iso images as virtual CDROM in his home directory 
(http://users.skynet.be/top/virtualcd/index.html).
The virtual CDs are automatically unmounted when the user logs of again.

The whole thing works on the basis of a single bash scripts which creates some 
desktop files, modifies startkde,etc.

I would like to let the user unmount mounted virtual CDs by listing them in 
Konqueror's sidebar.

The actions I'ld like to support:
1. Left-clicking a virtual CD in sidebar -> open the virtual CD in Konqi's 
main window
2. Right-cliking a virtual CD in sidebar -> add the "unmount virtual CD" 
option to the service menu + remove some irrelevant default menitems like 
"move to", "delete", "rename", ... which don't make sense for a read-only 
virtual CD.


I have explored the option of writing my own KonqSidebarPlugin but I'ld like 
to stick to my current approach where everything is accomplished by 
interaction between some desktop files, a single bash script and some 
ubiquitous Linux tools like mount, grep, .... The advantage of that approach 
is that it is small (<8kbyte download) and doesn't require compilation.
