Actually, I've always been a bit confused regarding the SetProperty
methods in the org.freedesktop.Hal.Device interface. Why as an ordinary
client, for example, would I ever want to call them? Would it not make
more sense to move these along with RemoveProperty to
org.freedesktop.Hal.AgentManager? e.g.:

void RemoveProperty(string udi, string key)

Otherwise this is confusing two different uses for Device objects. If we
were talking about SetProperty actually affecting the interface, on the
other hand, then it would make sense (since SetProperty would be the
symmetric opposite of GetProperty).

Cheers,
Owen
