<br>
I would like to bring this for discussion again, there are apparently people<br>
[1] using those devices on desktop and even when there might be just a few of<br>
them we maybe want to reconsider supporting them. I've never removed the<br>
relevant code to support enterprise devices, they are just ignored and<br>
filtered out, but still the setting widgets are there. Problem is that I don't<br>
want to really show them in the applet or in the new kcm as it might bother<br>
99% of users who actually don't need them. Instead, we might want to add an<br>
option to the applet to allow showing and creating such devices. What do you<br>
think? It shouldn't be extra work and everyone will be satisfied.<br>
