There is a native KDE volume manager (kvm), though this only seems to be available via CVS at the moment (http://webcvs.kde.org/kdenonbeta/kvm/). However gnome-volume-manager works well and you don't need to run gnome to run it (though of course you need the libraries). I have it running quite happily with an fvwm session. This recognises my camera via USB or the compact flash card via pcmcia adapter and fires up 'gthumb -import' - you could set this to start anything you like. Regards, Chris
