I plan to implement a BitPim feature that provides automatic
notification to BitPim of USB devices being connected/disconnected.
This feature allows BitPim to auto-detect phones being connected to a
PC running Linux (Windows PCs already have this feature available).
The approach is to use Linux Hotplug feature and let one BitPim
process notifies the other (main) BitPim process of USB devices being
added/removed. For IPC, I plan to use XMLRPC for one BitPim to talk
to the other. D-BUS or HAL protocol, once matured, would probably
provide a more graceful implementation (and when we decide to move
off RH9). Thoughts or comments?
