Which in turn is the replacement for HAL. we're about to adopt GIO/GVfs in Xfce and I'm a little concerned about GNOME dependencies in GVfs. AFAIR, the HAL monitor already depends on gnome-mount which means that in Xfce we'd have to write our own HAL monitor just to replace gnome-mount with exo-mount. With a dependency on gnome-disk-utility our situation doesn't get any better, even if it's optional (a lot of distributions will probably make it a hard dependency anyway). So, I wonder ... wouldn't it make more sense to write a monitor solely based on DeviceKit-disks to keep things desktop agnostic? Cheers, Jannis
