Well, I don't know very much of the internals of kde, but I thought that the 
events propagate from kernel->udev->hal->dbus->kded (?) in the case, a new 
device is added (at least on my gentoo-box with hal/dbus enabled). So, it 
should be possible to send the same message via dbus-send (?).If not, please 
give me a hint (to some documentation).

thx,
wilhelm
