I don't forsee the tinkerphobic using fvwm or jwm or ratpoison. But stuff popping up all the time? Your dmesg/pmount solution or mine and the other guy's inotify solution could easily pop up one of those temporary messages, and I think some of the temporary message popper upppers don't require dbus (but use it if it's there). By the way, how did you detect insertion? Were you using dmesg --follow ?
