Fix the passing the 'locale' mount option:
- read the real locale from the environment (including the charset), the language is of no use to FS drivers,
- do not attempt to store the locale in the config file, it has to be the current one,
- only pass the locale if the filesystem type is ntfs-3g, HAL is broken and lists 'locale' as available with the Linux 
in-kernel ntfs driver (http://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=17753)

One more case of not letting hal handle media from other backends,
(dbus assert with nfs mounts (':' in dbus path). bnc#359424

- In case of ntfs external devices, hal can have the option for locale at mount

- Fixed a small memleak: use libhal_free_string_array(volumes) instead
  of free(volumes)
- USB floppy drives have media-detection enabled. Thus we can react on
  insertion of a floppy disk
- Fixed empty labels for floppy drives

Don't unmount media from other backends. Fixes a dbus assert with nfs mounts (':' in dbus path).

make sure we unmount the device before we even try to 
eject - and give correct error message if the device is busy
BUG: 143353

only leave out sync for vfat if hal/kernel supports flush

don't handle floppy drives as with old HAL versions - newer
ones have a volume on its own, so better use that one (still
leaving older logic in place)

Fix mounting of floppies, patch by Wang Baisheng, great thanks. Tested by me & other users. Approved by Kevin.
BUG:FIXED:120619

Don't define at compile socket
(use function which define it at runtime)
Patch ok'ed by kevin

Init DBusError to avoid problems like:

3104: arguments to dbus_move_error() were incorrect, assertion "(dest) == NULL || !dbus_error_is_set ((dest))" failed in file dbus-errors.c line 243.

libhal crashes left and right when you pass non existing UDIs,
so we're better more careful than crashing kded

camera icon from mimetype (approved by Kevin Ottens)

* Do not set icons for cameras explicitly, because they can be
  determined from the mimetype. In addition, always reset a medium icon
  when properties of the medium change. This fixes a problem when the
  camera_mounted icon is not reset once the camera storage has been
  unmounted.

Thanks to Modestas Vainius

halbackend fstab improvements (approved by Kevin Ottens)

* fixes HALBackend::inInFstab() to correctly match the fstab device node
  that is a symlink.
* Improve error messages for HAL/fstab unmount failures. Include a list
  of processes using the device in them (if there are any).
* When handling fstab devices, make HALBackend::mount() and
  HALBackend::umount() calls block until the operation actually
  completes (the same behaviour as with HAL devices).
* In mounthelper always unmount a device before ejecting it. However,
  if unmount fails, still try to eject the device. In case of failure,
  display the unmount error message which is more informative.

Thanks to Modestas Vainius.

devices that are in fstab should show up no matter what HAL thinks
CCMAIL: kde-packager@kde.org

Check the return value from dbus_connection_open_private().
Fixes KDED crashing on startup when D-BUS is unavailable.

If at all possible, this should go into 3.5.4.

CCMAIL: coolo@kde.org

better support for baseurl medias as discussed with Kevin

Avoid to leak devices lists.

Thanks for pointing this.
BUG: 117623

hal 0.4 simply won't work any more 

indented the right branch

Merge coolo's branch, it contains quite some fixes and interesting 
features. It'll be available in KDE 3.5.4, couldn't be committed before,
but thanks to the partial feature unfreeze...

FEATURE:
BUG: 50185

Workaround lots of buggy hal packages that don't  set camera.libgphoto2_support
BUG: 175052

Don't claim the HAL device list, if we failed to initialize correctly
the HAL context. Leads to a crash on some install (depends where the
initialization stage stopped).

CCBUG:113194

SVN_SILENT: fix typo

HAL spec for camera slightly changed between 0.4.x and 0.5.x.

CCBUG:111643

Updated copyright information

Fix the name of mounted/unmounted icons (_mount/_unmount) in the HAL Backend.

branching of 3.5 and arts 1.5 

Allow blank discs to be listed too

Use the newly available icon for portable audio players.

BUG:97064

Unregister all the devices registered by the HAL backend at deletion time.
(That's the behavior of all the other backends)

Fix compile issues using HAL 0.5.x
Seems that they have been introduced with the usb-storage cameras support.

Modify mediamanager and medianotifier to have a better notification handling.

- mediamanager now indicates (through its DCOP signals) if a modification
can result in a notification or not.
- medianotifier now listen to the mediamanager directly (no more media:/ listing)
and notify only if it's allowed.

All the mediamanager backends have been modified to take care of this extension.
They are the only ones to know if it's appropriate to notify or not.

- Fix handling of usb-storage camera - only one item is created
with mimetype media/camera_(un)mounted
- Change label from "Camera" to usb.product retrieved from HAL
- Fixed popup window caption (/ was being changed to %2f)

Ok, this time we have it! The media ioslave stack is complete, we notify the
user when a new medium is detected and we propose a set of actions.

It even introduces a new kcontrol module to configure this feature. It'll
soon be extended in order to tune a bit the media ioslave behavior.

Of course, further testing is needed to find bugs in this new code.

Thanks a lot to Jean-Remy Falleri who provided the initial base code. It's
now integrated inside kdebase after some refactoring.

We're now only lacking more konqueror services for media/* mimetypes.

Patch from ArchLinux for JAZ drives

update FSF address

HAL 0.5 fixes.

Thanks to Jonathan Riddell and Jan de Groot

Updated copyright information

API fix for HAL 0.5

Fixed memory leak in variables allocated by libhal-storage

Move the watch property initialization

Debug areas for the media and remote kioslaves, they seem to be rather chatty.

moved kdeaccessibility kdeaddons kdeadmin kdeartwork kdebindings kdeedu kdegames kdegraphics kdemultimedia kdenetwork kdesdk kdetoys kdeutils kdevelop kdewebdev kdepim kdebase kdelibs kde-i18n arts into /trunk/KDE/

Added a missing dbus_error_init

CCBUG:101075

Updated the media kioslave HALBackend to the libhal API version 0.5

The HALBackend now works with HAL 0.5 / DBus 0.31, though this port is still
experimental. Compatibility with HAL 0.4.x / DBus 0.23 is preserved for the
time being, at least until HAL 0.6 is released.


CCBUG:101075

- The halbackend now compiles against libhal-storage 0.5.
Backward compatibility with libhal-storage 0.4 is preserved for the time being.
This does not solve the dbus-qt bindings 0.31 problem.

- Complete Coolo's patch about kded crashing.

CCBUG:101075

This code crashes when unplugging (some) devices.

Treat ZIP drives as floppy drives.

BUGS:98677
CCMAIL:ervin@ipsquad.net

The HALBackend now makes use of the LinuxCDPolling backend to identify VCD,
SVCD and Video DVD types.

Keep icons names consistant

Support for recognising different pluggable media
Based on patch form Victor Daniel Velasco Martenez <vdvelascomtz@prodigy.net.mx>

Fix a crash at startup when DBus is not running

Fix crash with libhal-storage

This is a Hardware Abstraction Layer backend for the media:/ kioslave. It uses HAL for listing and updating media. It currently supports mountable volumes, audio CDs and gphoto2 camera.
