Well it's complicated. The different DE's do things differently. AFAIK,
GNOME has used udev for a long time, and I had it in my head that KDE
did also, but they are totally separate implementations.

But I do see here, that my USB stick is not showing up in GNOME now.
I'll try later in KDE and try and pinpoint where the weak link is.

The urpmi stuff does still use HAL and should really be ported as HAL
shouldn't be used now (I've got it disabled on all my mga1 machines
anyway as I don't use urpmi+CD/DVD media).
