Kay,
Patch attached corrects all the brokenness with the led class (encoding
some attributes in the device handle).

-LED Device Naming
-=================
-
-Is currently of the form:
-
-"devicename:colour"
-
-There have been calls for LED properties such as colour to be exported as
-individual led class attributes. As a solution which doesn't incur as much
-overhead, I suggest these become part of the device name. The naming scheme
-above leaves scope for further attributes should they be needed.
