yeah, I know _how_ to do it, but I haven't done it either :-)

I don't understand the point.  If KDE automounts a device (which I think it
should do) it doesn't have any need to send you messages about it.  I want
to decide _what_ to do with the device, but I need it mounted before I can
do anything, so I _always_ want it mounted.
