This hardware applet (or more correctly helper) will notify hotplugged devices that require configuration, and allow the user to run the configuration tool.
It should use gnome-volume-manager and kde-volume-manager the most it can, and rely on standard HAL classes.
- add harddrake-handled classes in HAL configuration files (/etc/hal)
- generic case: make g-v-m and k-v-m run a wrapper tool for classes it doesn't handle (requires a patch in each of these volume-managers):
- USB modems
- USB/PCMCIA network/wireless cards
- USB printers
- USB scanners
- prefer direct configuration of g-v-m and k-v-m when it handles a class (from above list), it's about specifying the wrapper tool path
- display a notification icon with a notification buble from the wrapper
- allow to remember per-device configuration choice
- show a "Run tool?" popup with Yes/No buttons and a "Remember configuration" checkbox
- provide a tool to manage list of automatically configured devices (merge in harddrake)
