i noticed now that after i modified the cycle to go forward the button to mount or eject the volume is printed on the row under the device. 
this happens because going forward the view calculates the rect of the device item, than the ones of its actions. But the actions are painted under the device, so when it starts calculating the button, it puts it under them because the actions increase the verticalOffset' s value.
Calculating the button' s rect first and then the devices' and their actions' solves this.

This could be a solution, but could make this feature less discoverable

Some people on kde-look posted some comments about some problems, but it seems to me they are very particular cases, so in my opinion it is quite stable to go in trunk, but anyway review it! :)
