Well, I don't really disagree, it's just that on our main target it's a pain 
to aggregate this kind of information from Solid. AFAIK it requires a 
dependency on the running X session, and I really want to keep Solid X free.

At first I thought, "cool". But in fact I'm not so sure. Well, in any case 
that couldn't replace krandrtray IMO (or at least the kcm accompanying it) 
because it has much more features which couldn't be merged in the device 
notifier I think. Now that's probably worth a try (probably in a branch of 
the hotplug engine and the devicenotifier applet).
