At FOSDEM in Brussels, Robert Love gave a very good talk on just
these things. He works on kernel development, but the theme of his
talk was on how work on the kernel is making desktop Linux better.

As he has moved to Ximian expect to see features appear
for SuSE first.

One of the examples he gave was (say) plugging in a camera.
Then your laptop would recognise it and start gphoto.
(Before anyone says it, yes I know this is possible now).

When I get time, I'm very interested in his new kernel messaging layer,
from the point of view of systems monitoring.
