That's not it. Remember that I have renamed the susewatcher binary to 
/opt/kde3/bin/DAMMsusewatcher, there is no way it can start. It doesn't 
exist.

However, when I login with a new user, it says "new hardware found". And a 
user should never even be told about such things he doesn't know about nor 
is authorized to handle/think/whatever.
