we need a spec for handling mediums

[Avi Alkalay]

This is one of the purposes of a registry-like machanism.
Gnome has GConf.
KDE has KConfig.
None is global.

Stuff like Linux Registry (http://registry.sf.net) or Uniconf are
candidates to a definitive solution for this. Obviously a
sepecification for things like the one you are proposing must be
written, like "find the preferred CD-R writer program in key
system/desktopGlobals/cdwriter or user/desktopGlobals/cdwriter".

Being a key, it can be read by everybody, and automatically and
easilly changed by installation systems and configuration programs.

Regards,
Avi
