have already implemented it :-)

the ui at the moment is not an integrated as it should be, but it works=20
flawlessly, is simple and thus can be extended/integrated with ease.

it is not implemented as a kded module at the moment (though conversion wou=
ld=20
be trivial), but a dcop service instead. reason for this is that it's not=20
completely trivial code (has two threads, has linux system calls) and thus=
=20
probably deserves its own process space.

as it is, it's mildly integrated into kde, has it's own kcm module, and wil=
l=20
run any command you care to run when a specific type of media is inserted=20
into one of the autodetected (or manually specified) optical drives.

i'll put it into kdenonbeta sometime today.
