Isn't the worst case when the udev/HAL/whatever magic fails
that there is no nice "just works" experience for the user?

I.e. the user may only have to launch the appropriate application
manually or re-start it.

If I am right, such a convention is not actually an API
(fatal crash if something doesn't match to the API)
but just a nice-to-have convention for a nice-to-have
"just works" experience.


Kind Regards
