SolidDevice engine

hi ...

currently i'm seeing debug about "protocol not supported" from HddTemp 
approximately once every second.

turns out this is coming from the SolidDevice engine, which is used by the 
device applet.

even though temperature is never asked for or used, the HddTemp object is 
created. worse yet HddTemp itself has an internal timer.

of course engines should update themselves only on request, and the timing 
should be defined by the consumer not any code in the engine itself.

now, i'm not sure exactly what the intended use case for the temperature 
monitor was and i don't like doing things that are too invasive without 
asking for more info first. so perhaps someone (Petri? Blauvelt?) can shed 
some light on this.
