This sounds like you missed my point. My argument isn't that autorun is cool 
and Linux should have it (when in fact KDE *does* have it, to some degree), 
my argument is that Windows has it and it's not inherently detramental (since 
the user would be instructed to manually do what autorun does automatically 
anyway, and hence have the same effects), so Wine, if it is trying to match 
Windows feature-for-feature and bug-for-bug, should have it too. IMO, of 
course.

If I knew how dbus and hal worked, I would probbly try to make the necesarry 
patches. But as I'm not familiar with Win32 or Wine's internals, I'm not 
really qualified to work on it, at this time. I'm just a user voicing my 
opinion.
