It's not media:/ that's working fine, it's kaffeine, kmplayer and amarok that are working fine again after having found ways to mediate between media:/ and their backends (instead of achieving real progress they needed to fix this). And if media:/ is working fine for you, then try to trash a file from system:/.

> It's really the only way to easily access unmounted media

It's really not the only way, you can tell kdesktop to show icons for unmounted media.

Oh yes there would be something, the mountpoints, and konqueror/the file dialog could be smart and give them special treatment, such as device icons and a 'mount' action. Just like media:/, but without the proprietary URLs.

Edgy includes patches to add the extra options to the mountpoints in /media, BTW.

Great. That's really a wise move from Kubuntu.
