[Pkg-utopia-maintainers] Bug#614331: hald does not start automatically on bootup

[Martin Pitt]

Hello Ron,

XFCE was recently moved from hal to upower/udisks/gio, but I just saw
that this new xfce-power-manager is only in Debian experimental so
far.

To make hal D-BUS activation work properly, hal needs this additional
patch:
http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~ubuntu-core-dev/hal/ubuntu/view/head:/debian/patches/02_libhal_dont_check_running.patch

Michael, can you apply it to the Debian package as well? You can
easily test with "lshal" while hal is not running. Right now it
shouldn't activate, with this patch it will.

Thanks,

Martin
