Right, these are things I've already done.  It doesn't really address
the problem, though, that all of the devices are added at once and
basically all timeout at once.  The async call of got_parent() only
searches devices in the GDL, but those devices aren't added to the gdl
until some time well after got_parent.  So as long as those devices are
all added at about the same time (which they are at startup), we'll
never actually get the parents.  See the example in my previous email
for the order in which things are called.
