you can switch themes in 4.0, and at some point (maybe 4.1?) we added 
colourizable themes (Aya ships by default and is colourizable; it's what 
OpenSUSE uses for their defaults as well)

by default plasma has the device notifier in the panel. you can also drop it 
onto the desktop, where it shows the list in a nice little box.

imho, this is superior to both GNOME and KDE3's mechanisms.
