Try in the KDE Components --> Service Manager and disable the Media
Notification Daemon.

You could get rid of HAL. I apparently don't have it installed. I
occasionally get some spurious warning messages from things about "can't blah
blah blah HAL" I've got some HAL libs installed, but the "hal" package is
not. I don't have "udev" or "dbus" either, and have no idea what the hell
anyone is talking about.

I figure this is probably a good thing. If it ain't broke... Hotplug is
still working just fine here, thanks.

Guess why udev replaces hotplug by now: hotplug kinda _was_ broken because it
had e.g. some race conditions when using custom scripts (that's also why usb
devices properly appear in /dev again with 2.6.15).
Why udev itself is sometimes wanted is another story (fixed device names is
one, especially when using event devices in the input system).

I'm sure it does something magical that makes a lot of sense, but it doesn't
seem to even work with my kernel (2.6.10), and there are assorted
(niche-specific, non-mainstream) things I've never managed to get working
with any kernel newer than this.

Maybe if I wait long enough, it will all go away. I didn't bother with devfs
either, and look how that turned out.

If not, I'll deal with it when I no longer have the option to ignore it.
