Then you work around a plasma-bug because one should not be forced to have a 
separate window just to get it on top.

Because it is not transparent to the user why the device disappeared if he did 
not remove it. One one moment the device is still there, the next it is not 
without any user-action. If you make this configureable, i.e. off by default, 
fair enough, but otherwise it is not transparent and you will not know which 
time is sensible for all users.

Regarding scrolling, as I said, currently it would already need 5 items, do 
you know anyone who has 5 devices plugged to the computer at the same time? 
But even if, the scrolling would only be necessary if the list would become 
larger then the screen-height, which I think is very unlikely.

But maybe I just expect the wron thing from your plasmoid. I thought it should 
replace the media-applet from KDE3. If it is not meant to do that I might try 
to use yours as basis to do so.
