Jim, if the user is logged in so is the rest of the user interface. Why
not have a monitoring program (like console) that watches the hotplug
events and invokes corresponding configuration program ? This would also
allow for various user environments to customize configuration tools to
match their look.
That solution is not in itself sufficient. You might not want everybody
to see all hotplug events.
And what would the problem be with using an event distribution mechanism
that would require the listener to have certain privileges?
