When you place a CD or DVD into the drive, or connect a USB stick or an external
hard drive, the widget opens a small window for device notication which noties
you of the process. Possible actions for the respective type of device are also sug-

For example, if you connect a digital camera, you can download your photos with
Gwenview (image viewer) or digiKam (image management program). Click on the
device entry in the widget to access the available actions. To securely remove the
device from the computer, click on the icon to the right of the device entry (the cable
icon or the eject button).

which are directly on the desktop such as the mini programs or program icons. When
the desktop elements are xed, no objects can be added to the desktop, moved or
removed.
