Hm, I haven't been so lucky.  When I plugin my camera, I get a popup 
under KDE asking me if I want to open a window.  If I select 'yes' the 
window comes up but times out saying it couldn't claim the usb device, 
presumably because both /proc/bus/usb and /dev/bus/usb are owned 
completely by root.  My /usr/libexec/gphoto-udev-thunk-set-my-perms 
script has the right lines to set the perms, but maybe HAL isn't 
setting the right env. vars for it when it's called?
