First off, I don't have lsinput anywhere on my system, I suppose you mean 'lshal' instead? Any idea what I should be looking for there? And I do have hald-addon-input and gnome-settings-daemon running, but dbus-monitor --session doesn't show anything (not even when I connect the BT headset, which is weird and perhaps indicates something wrong with my system?) Ideas are appreciated.
