I was about to send a message about this issue when I read this message...

One of the features KDE is missing is removable media automounting and I'm=
=20
interested in implementing this. There are, however, some considerations on=
=20
how it should be done. Below I list my ideas of possibilities for this=20
implementation:

1) A standalone program, like kdenonbeta/kautorun: probably the easiest way=
,=20
but it would also miss integration with the underlying system (KDE);

2) A KDED module: really simple. it would quietly wait for media to be=20
inserted and make the appropriate dcop calls to have [media]/autorun.sh=20
executed or a Konqueror window open at the mount point;

3) An extension for the mountwatcher KDED module: the same as above, with t=
he=20
difference that it would be part of mountwatcher.

Any ideas/comments/rants?
