Thanks.  I knew it had changed quite a bit since you'd last done 
anything with it, but figured you'd have some ideas.

And, it sounds like skipping the static-list creation may be more of a 
problem than it's worth.  I'm guessing that most people who disable 
monitoring drives still use the eject functionality (and that I'm the 
only person who uses neither).  I suppose if I have to live with waiting 
on the D-Bus poll loop to time out, it may actually help to motivate me 
to fix it properly.

Thanks,
Mike
