Hmmm... kdesktop could be improved to allow to hide specific devices (not only 
type based hiding). I implemented this in the companion kicker applet 
though...

Maybe we could use the Meta Info tab to display this.

I can only say that devices:/ is in an unknown state to me. I worked a bit on 
it, but it has been decided during aKademy to write a replacement.

It's available in kdebase/kioslave/media, you can test it using media:/

I've not worked on the konq_popupmenu and kdesktop integration yet but it's 
planned. Then I'll try to take care of the issues you have currently with 
devices:/

Regards.
