I did not want to change the current design any more than adding autodetect
as a precursor to the settings dialog being shown. If this were moved to run
as if the menu option were pressed it would not be possible to present the
settings dialog prior to the main window in the case where no phone was
detected and there was no valid configuration.

2. Having a popup display

I'll remove the message when the phone is detected, having to click
everytime it works is kindof annoying. If a new phone is detected it will
still ask for the name, and an error will still be displayed when no phone
is detected.

I'll remove the new option I added, I understand the point you make. I'll
put a delay into the notification code.
I don't see how this can be phone specific as we don't know what model we
are going to be detecting and we could potentially run through all the
phones we support, we would need to pick the lowest comon denominator if it
was in the profile. I was thinking that a hidden parameter
"device_connect_detect_delay" could be added to the code.
