Re: Removable media handling in KDE on FC4

You can add the storage media applet to the taskbar. Removable media
can then "safely removed" from there.

Hope this helps.

I'm looking at putting FC4 on selected desktops here and I'm
investigating how it handles USB sticks and the like. (Most of the
machines are running FC3 and everyone uses KDE.)

So I logged in as a test user and inserted a USB stick. I was pleased
to see the window appear asking what should be done with it. So I
opened it in a window, looked around and closed the window. Now what?
The device is mounted; unplugging it would be bad. There's no desktop
icon indicating that it's mounted (and none indicating an unmounted
device either). Yes, desktop behavior is set to display mounted and
unmounted removable media.

If you look in the file manager and click on the right combination of
tabs, the USB device shows up as a hard disk named sda1 and can be
unmounted from there. Unfortunately my users will never comprehend
that.

My guess is that this has something to do with the missing HAL support
in KDE. Is there any way to improve things? Should I look to
KDE-Redhat's packages?
