Media Notifier other than Dolphin, more noob friendly?

[skunkarific]

Is there something that can pop up when media such as a flashdrive, DVD or (remember) floppy disk is inserted in the computer to ask the user what he wants to do with the media? It used to be called KDE Daemon, the little window that pops up with Dolphin simply opens the media, and I don't think many of our users will know to look there. Something that pops up as in PCLinux, Mepis etc?

For example, right now, you insert a DVD, and all you get is the dolphin notifier that pops up. The user clicks it and is presented with the AUDIO_TS and VIDEO_TS folders. The user, lost, tries to open the windows, and gets the .VOB files, and goes back to Microsoft, which just pops up and asks if he wants to play it with Power DVD or Winders Media player.

Any suggestions to replicate the KDE Daemon?

Just posting my agreement. The old way (KDE3.5) was very friendly and easy. The new way (KDE4) is sucky.

I am using KDE 4.2 beta 2, when I insert a DVD device notifier informs me that there are two actions available, clicking on this pops up another dialogue box giving me the options of play with Dragon player or open with Dolphin.
What version of KDE 4 are you using ?

I look at it this way I am the one who put the media in so why do I need the system to tell me what I all ready know. I find the old way a waste of my time. If I put some thing in I know what to do with it then I do as I need.

But under KB KDE 4.2 b2 I get the a pop up.
