I think the further down this road we go, the more erroneous and 
difficult the solution becomes. We currently use GIO's API to know about 
removable media. Right now there is no "type" information provided. 
Finding out if we have "optical discs" in the list of removable media 
was hard enough, separating mp3 players/usb sticks/etc is not possible 
AFAICS. With HAL this was more achievable, but GIO doesn't have device 
*type*.
