I absolutely positively hate that all this shit is getting integrated
into the lower level portions of the operating environment. The
xorg/hal coupling is gross and disgusting if you don't want or need
hal. Soon enough, I'll bet udev and devicekit are going to require
each other. When this starts to happen, it's time to stop using this
crap
