I don't work around a plasma bug ..actually with plasma we have no issue to
put an applet that is on the desktop in front of all window...I think we
will work to find an issue for 4.1...

Actually i have made a config ui (just right click) but it's not yet
implemented (soon i organize release party in France)...So i will propose an
option to delete automatically device after a time (by default off but it's
possible)...User can choose the number of items displayed (configureable by
default off). User will choose what they want!

Regarding scrolling, as I said, currently it would already need 5 items, do

If you  display all items connected on your pc (before lauchnig the applet)
yes : a printer (USB), a usb mouse, my usb key, my external DD...So it's for
this reason i choose to display only "hot plug" like media-notifier in kde
3.

But maybe I just expect the wron thing from your plasmoid. I thought it

Actually with a "more actions" link after the default action it will do the
same that the media notifier in kde3.5...But better because it display
previous plugged device...


Thank you for you're feedback!
