that isn't the point. cd burning is being used as an example. the problem is that apps might request a user to insert a blank cd, data cd 2-of-3, plug in a camera to import the photos, etc etc and there needs to be a way of informing g-v-m that something else is going to habndle the event so that g-v-m doesn't try to handle it in addition to another app that has requested the user add the hardware device. -- Jeffrey Stedfast Evolution Hacker - Novell, Inc.
