yes, that could make sense ... esp for services that need the volume to be 
mounted first.

yes, i agree :)

so .. on to other design issues:

* it's easy enough to have more than one service set as "run this 
automatically when <type> appears". we could do a "first come, first serve" 
approach, or use a weighting in the .desktop value, sort of how we do 
mimetypes?

* how to distinguish between services that need the volume to be mounted first 
(e.g. gwenview for a disk with photos) and those which specifically should not 
have the volume mounted (e.g. digikam for a camera). sounds like something to 
add to the .desktop file as well 

do you have any suggestions for the above?
