Konqueror (KDE 3.x and 4.x) and Dolphin (KDE 4.x mainly, but I believe
there's a KDE 3.x version) also show automatically mounted and
removable media in the sidebar.  Works nicely with HAL.  Haven't
tested your script yet, but am intrigued by it.  Will see if I can
test it sometime this week.

Native solutions are so much nicer than ported ones.  :)
