Good news regarding the label support: there's a successor developed by HALs fame of David Zeuthen, which also includes support for reading/setting device/volume labels:
http://hal.freedesktop.org/docs/DeviceKit/
http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/hal/2008-May/011560.html

I think this would be a good chance to begin supporting DeviceKit in KDE (I don't know, whether they will be incompatible, so that DeviceKit support blocks HAL and whether DeviceKit will provide a HAL-compat module, but as far as I understood, it shouldn't be a problem adding DeviceKit-Disks support to KDE without breaking HAL support.)

The "free space" information in kdelibs for each volume could be retrieved by DeviceKit too.
The good thing about DeviceKit: as far as I know it is designed to be portable (at least portable to other POSIX compatible systems, don't know about Win).

Where does this whole thing go to? Is it now Solid+kdelibs+dolphin?
