Silly question, but what does acpid actually do on your system? On my
system it doesn't do anything, as I have no events or actions for it to
execute. 

If it does need to stay, what's wrong with putting 

event=*
action=/path/to/hal_addon "%s"

as the default in /etc/acpi/events?

If we can get rid of it, we could just have a hal addon doing:

io = g_io_channel_new_file("/proc/acpi/event", "r", &error);

and just parsing the output and performing a device refresh. Too simple?
