Hi all,

this is the patch to check for the USB device hotplugging, it currently
allows 2 types of watching for USB device hotplug - using HAL and udev
itself. There is a plan for DeviceKit support but I am not currently
having option to make it for DeviceKit so this option will be added in
time. Nevertheless the HAL and udev implementations are working now
but you may have to choose the desired type in the Preferences menu.
UDev type is working by watching for /dev tree changes using pyinotify
and querying udevadm so if you want to use udev type, you need to have
pyinotify module installed.
