The places model is dynamic (as devices can come and go anytime), so you have to connect to the models *changed() signals to get informed of removable devices. Initially, the model is only populated with the static places, so you only get those. Since you need a receiver object, you probably have to make a simple KPlacesMenu subclass.

This should also help in scenario where plugged in removable media is not automatically mounted (which is the default setup at least in Fedora). I couldn't find a way to easily extend that functionality, though.
