IIRC, GNOME only needs udev for auto-mount support. gvfs has a udev flag, disabling that might eliminate the need there. KDE has similar udev flags for things like pulseaudio. For GNOME, I suspect swapping udev for mdev may be tricky, since GNOME uses a custom-build library (libudev) for all of its communications. If libudev can be tricked into listening to mdev instead, and isn't communicating in a way that mdev doesn't support, then GNOME should "just work". --Mike
