I figured it out for Warty, then I did a clean reinstall for Breezy (I
wanted to repartition my harddrive anyway) and lost it. I didn't much
care since I was using my own download script anyway. And no, I don't
remember what I did to get it (you can get the needed info through
looking at the logfiles I believe).

Which, by the way, brings me to a question: is there any reasonably
straightforward way to make hotplug run your own script instead of the
default "import pictures" thing?

A major reason I did not like it was that the 350D only saves 100 files
per subdirectory, and it keeps the old directories around even when
you've deleted the files. You end up having to browse through a mass of
directories every time, with no clear indication of which ones actually
contain any pictures. Messy and annoying.
