Automounting under KDE - without ivman

Target: When one insert a DVD, it should be automatically  - without any question, popup spam and other annying effects - mounted under /media alatt. Requirements: kdebase package (the rest will be pulled in by kdebase).

Under GNOME, ivman handles this function (if it does, dunno). When you insert a media, KDE displays a window: "Open in new window", or "Don't do anything". The first is obviously not ok, the sencond does not mount at all. Let's start hacking...

Create the file named <tt>~/.kde/share/config/medianotifierrc</tt> with the following content (this will ensure the automatism; unfortunatelly you can't use <tt>~</tt> in the path):
<pre>[Auto Actions]
media/dvd_unmounted=#Service:/home/boobaa/.kde/share/apps/konqueror/servicemenus/PMount_this_stuff.desktop</pre>
Then create the file named <tt>~/.kde/share/apps/konqueror/servicemenus/PMount_this_stuff.desktop</tt> with the following content: (this links the DVD insert event with the script):
<pre>[Desktop Action PMount this stuff]
Exec=~/bin/mypmo %u
Icon=button_cancel
Name=PMount this stuff

[Desktop Entry]
Actions=PMount this stuff
ServiceTypes=media/dvd_unmounted</pre>
Finally create the script named <tt>~/bin/mypmo</tt> with rights 0700:
<pre>#!/bin/bash
pmount `echo $1 | sed 's|.*media/\(.*\)|\1|'`</pre>
This script is necessary because kded uses the parameter format <tt>system:/media/hdc</tt>, and pmount won't like that.
