On my test box, which is running F8, I did the above test logged in 
locally. I also have an active VNC session for root (I'm playing with 
xen, and that's most conveniently done as root), and in that session I 
found out the popup was offering konqueror and digikam.

I really thing that this hot=plug stuff shouldn't be showing remote 
users any of this, I don't see how someone at the office can plug a 
camera into my computer at home even if I allow such VNC sessions (I 
don't, but I do it the other way round).
