thanks for the directon.

i've made these changes locally, but have some remaining questions...

if the device isn't currently accessible, e.g. it's an unmounted CD/DVD/etc, 
i'd like to say what kind of device it is since it will have neither a 
sensible path nor a sensible title. this information seems to be in 
StorageDrive::DriveType? is there a way to get a translated string out for a 
given DriveType (i couldn't find such a thing)? and is it possible to get a 
StorageDrive oject for a non-mounted drive? 

(i'm having issues with device.as<Solid::StorageDrive> in general... it 
returning a null ptr in all cases ... )

i also notice that we don't seem to be responding to hotplug events in 
kickoff. i'll have to fix that today as well.
