I was messing around with hal# and hacked together a quick designed program to handle devices that require a third-party application to function (non-mountable, etc.). You can see the basic idea of what I'm thinking at http://extremeboredom.net/hotwire/. It could easily be changed to just ignore networking devices (if we have another program), mountable devices (g-v-m), or display a list of actions anyway to complement it (you have just hooked up a usb network device! Would you like to start Firefox? etc.) The code's a mess now partly due to things missing from the FDI specification, I havent had much time to work on this, is anyone else intrested?
