Thanks for the info:)

I have it mostly working now except for the fallowing error?
main.cpp: In function `void mainloop_integration(LibHalContext*,
   DBusConnection*)':
main.cpp:49: error: `dbus_connection_setup_with_g_main' undeclared (first use
   this function)
main.cpp:49: error: (Each undeclared identifier is reported only once for each
   function it appears in.)

this means that it cannot find dbus_connection_setup_with_g_main
this function is used in the lshal source. I retrieved my copy of dbus
from cvs and installed it. I looked in the dbus docs for the glib
binding and found that this function is declared in dbus-gmain.c in
the dbus source. Did they change the api? if so how does the lshal
source compile?

thanks for your help
