I'm also not informed about all the projects existing here, but I can give you
some hints:
1- I think that this is going to be achieved soon, because Gnome and KDE are
being adapted to the Freedesktop menu specification. Gnome 2.10 is already
adapted, and I'm not sure about the status of KDE, but they are doing it for
sure.
2- It seems that the way to go is pmount/hal/dbus, which is already integrated
with Gnome in Debian, and I think it is also integrated with KDE 3.4, which
is in experimental.
