Hmmmn Now that sounds vaguely familiar... Looks like the candidates are

1) KDED Media Manager		[no description]
2) Media Notifier Daemon	[A media plugged notifier]

I'm not sure what the diff is between them. But I'm gonna try stopping
both of them. I'm curious what the difference is between them though.

In any case stopping these feels like deja vu. So it was probably
the thing I couldn't remember...

Thanks
