I think I know what this is. I assume we're getting an event after the
window is no longer realized.

inserted contains information about the inserted disk but doesn't
contain a boolean to indicate that the device is inserted.
My understanding is that the existance of the inserted structure is what
indicates that the device is inserted.

I thought about this, there are a few concerns. The first is that you
might lose consistency across devices. The second is i18n.
I would like to show USB device separately from IDE devices (even if
it's a USB CDROM). I want the menu to look something like this:
QEMU DVD-ROM QM003 ->
Floppy Disk ->
---------------------
USB Devices ->
USB Tablet ->
-----------------------------------
Description of USB Host Device 1 ->
Description of USB Host Device 2 ->
Description of USB Host Device 3 ->
Such that you can also do USB host device pass through via the menus.
>From an i18n point of view, I would expect 'Floppy Disk' to be

though since this is how the device is described within the guest.

I was going for how the device would be described in the guest such that
if a user is looking at Device Manager in Windows or /dev/disk/by-id/ in
Linux that there would be a clear association.

Ack, this is nasty. I would like to eliminate this. There is a type
field in BlockInfo but:
# @type: This field is returned only for compatibility reasons, it should
# not be used (always returns 'unknown')
I vaguely remember this happening but I don't remember the specific
reason why. I would definitely prefer that we filled out type
correctly.
I think Markus was involved in this. Markus or Luiz, do you remember
the story here?
