Well, I think we just want to tag these; but yeah, gnome-vfs, KDE etc.
should interpret the new properties we come up with and then hide such
partitions by default, yeah. (that's probably what you meant)

It's probably a good idea to move this to hal-info yes. Currently it's
in HAL itself

http://gitweb.freedesktop.org/?p=hal.git;a=blob;h=b2b190f627363a7811b20acf5179a5371e2a5109;hb=b2ee178b46b40d6f5e1ff77d7ec36424f859e5c3;f=fdi/policy/10osvendor/20-storage-methods.fdi

but it shouldn't be hard to move... (btw, for Fedora Rawhide / 7,
hal-info is now in it's own SRPM!)
