SVN commit 698944 by mwiesweg:

Use KDE Solid for detection of USB mass storage devices

- now there is one submenu for devices reported as "HardDisk" on the USB bus,
  and one submenu for devices reported as one of the various "Card Reader" subtypes
- remove traces of the KDE3 media:/ ioslave

Solid is a really great thing to have, first time that I use Linux and feel the hardware
is well integrated even in high-level applications!

TODO: For KDE3 we install .desktop files to add a digikam entry to the popup dialog that
      kded pops up when a new device is detected. I currently have no idea about the KDE4 equivalent.

Actually, you can probably use it to detect non UMS cameras too.

Good!

If you're interested in the topic, or have comments and questions, feel free
to join the kde-hardware-devel list or the #solid channel.

It's work in progress. Alexis is supposed to work on it, but he's a bit
overbooked AFAIK. We'll keep using .desktop files, but we won't use mimetypes
anymore, and the install directory will be slightly different.

Regards.
