I did something like this related with bluetooth, I used udev to detect the devices (which imho is the right layer) and it worked great with no false positives.
What I did was: -Detect if any keyboard was present -Detect Mouse/touchpad you have a Qt wrapper of udev in kdelibs/solid. Cheerz. _______________________________________________ Plasma-devel mailing list Plasma-devel@kde.org https://mail.kde.org/mailman/listinfo/plasma-devel
