As somebody already mentioned, we can try read /proc/acpi/event
directly, and if it fails, open the acpid socket.  This is
assuming that acpid runs before hald.  In the long term, I
believe, acpid can be replaced by something based on hal
technology.  I'm trying to write up a functional spec for that
and send around here.
