No, it's not that simple, and you saying that the script I'm using is a 
silly sollution is what I think not very friendly. At least you have to 
argument that.

The way that kde manages the notifying users via messages (popups), 
works via the session bus.
When you're developing a construction to manage local and remote resources,
like I do, and you want to setup communication with the user via the 
desktop, you'll have to use
this session bus, and not the system bus.

And there happens to be no construction in KDE to listen for system 
related messages (like a USB devices plugged in),  only for apps/users 
already belonging to the session, apart from listing to messages with 
wall, which are catched by kwrited (in a seperate session).

You can think of it as a KDE problem, I think it's not good that it's 
not possible that an app or script from "outside" is not able to 
communicate to the session bus.
