Automatic launching of programs for removable media/connected devices.

[Adams, Scott (FGWA-CO)]

I agree that an icon on the desktop is plenty. This is coming from
someone that if there isn't a GUI for it I don't know how to use it. As
long as it can/is associated with k3b on the right click.

Greetings all.
One of the things we are doing for the UbuntuStudio Hardy release is
making some changes to the desktop layout, and behavior. One of the
things we are pondering changing, is what happens when you insert a
disk, whether it be blank or containing data, and what happens when you
connect removable devices, such as cameras etc. To get an idea of the
options we are considering changing, open the system menu, go to
preferences, and choose "Removable Drives and Media". 

One change we would really like to make, is when removable drives or
disks are inserted, they will only appear on the desktop, and a nautilus
window will not open. We are also considering disabling all the
automatic running of applications for things like blank disks, audio
CDs, DVDs, cameras, etc.

Before making these changes however, we would like users to have a say
in what they think they would like to see happen, even going so far as
to changing the program that gets run. So for example, if you wanted K3B
to be used for both audio and data disks, we would change the settings
to load K3B, instead of using nautilus or serpentine.

Your feedback is much appreciated.

Thanks for your time.
