Indeed, I see no reason your code coudln't work with, e.g. Ervin's hotplug 
scripts.

I dislike seeing an intrusive windows poping each time I plug in a device too. 
I made a similar feature in kdenonbeta/kvm, but with a more unobstrusive 
passive popup. You could have a look at the code and make up your mind.

As for your patch, I am currently working on a bug in HALBackend, and it might 
become irrelevant. Still, I will think about it... 

Thanks !

Jérôme
