Re: usb plug/unplug notifications

For desktop application (because we are GTK+ forum) there is HAL (Hardware Abstraction Layer) 
http://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/hal to receive events and informations from devices and the kernel, 
gnome-volume-manager use HAL to know when a device has been attached then do some task that the user has 
defined (eg. mount).

Hi All,
I'd like to know how to intercept usb events.  Right now, I'm polling for
changes, but that isn't the "right" way to handle device discovery.  Is
there a way to get a notification when something happens in the usb world?

Thanks in advance.

-Garth
