On the other hand, having a background process--any background process--consuming constant and significant CPU is not desirable. This could be justifiably labeled as a blocker bug, I think, since it's going to degrade TDE's performance significantly on any distro not still shipping HAL. That being said, Slavek is right--if in order to use notifications, we need to know what signals and devices need to be handled. Power management needs to know about AC being plugged in/unplugged and batteries being added/removed, I'd assume. For automounting, we'd need to capture a whole bestiary of events: plugging/unplugging of USB mass storage, sD and other similar cards, optical disks, floppies . . . E. Liddell
