The one thing I would like to get out of this thread is to have media:/ 
changed to /media as Kubuntu has done. As I said before, this integrates much 
better with non-kde apps. From a usability perspective, a user isn't going to 
understand why they can access media:/ in something like konqueror, but not 
in a non-kde app such as gimp, etc.
