Nice, in fact i still don't know many things of how dbus and hal work.

I'm talking about  
/usr/share/hal/scripts/hal-system-storage-{mount,umount,eject}
These are put in the exec_paths for Mount, Umount and Eject methods in  
20storagemethods.fdi

No problem, i understand what you mean... i just suggested this thing  
hoping it was something easy to implement, i thought it was just a message  
to HAL which run the above scripts.

At all, good job. When i'll enstablish my box as good as i can i think  
i'll contribute to Xfce... i love it.

Bye
