In Fedora we patch GNOME 2.10 to use hal >= 0.5.0 and dbus >= 0.30. You
may grab patches here

 http://cvs.fedora.redhat.com/viewcvs/devel/

I think we've already submitted them upstream for GNOME 2.11. IIRC KDE
3.4 also contains code on HEAD to use hal >= 0.5.0 and dbus >= 0.30.

Within a year I expect both D-BUS and HAL to be ABI stable; until then
there are a few bumps.

Cheers,
David
