yep: Maarten, who wanted, the feature appear on irc and i offered a few places 
he could do this, and he picked the easiest and shortest path. the itch he was 
scratching is this: he's put together a "media" computer using Plasma Destop 
which he has locked down quite a bit. one feature he needed was for media 
plugged in to "just work", e.g. pop in a DVD and xine starts up.

he now has this working with his customized distro (i forget which one he 
started with as a basis.. fedora? anyways.. he's been testing his changes via 
patching and building new packages and installing them that way...)

i asked him to email his patch here so we could go from where he left off to 
something we can include in upstream :)

if nothing else, this provides a reasonable proof of concept, which shows that 
there is both value to the idea and that it works in even this basic form.
